Rachel's Birthday Sonnet
On this summed day in happy joy to band,
Held are you seen a Swan in gorgeous worth!
Where natal's mirth is graced in loving grand,
And happiness this day is recalls birth!
Here gain of life to year invokes a tune,
To raise in honour you by birthday's song,
So earn'st impart is now complete in croon,
To wish a celebration of love strong!
Yet now my twin in bosom state of mind,
On each time's date remember living's swell!
For be it in attain a heaven's kind,
Of ever peace increasing in age dwell!
Thus birthday's Auld Lang Syne attends in much,
When joyfulness of years greet's coming such!
