This poem is written from the point of view of Michael Collins, the Irish revolutionary leader, to his fiancée, Kitty Kiernan.

My Dearest Kitty

My dearest Kitty
I long for your touch
I think of you always
I love you so much

My love for you
Is an ocean deep
When I am with you
My heart wants to leap

My sunshine, my sweetheart
I stroke your soft hair
I cuddle you gently
It is for you, and only you, I care

You are my angel
The apple of my eye
My heart is yours always
To you I am tied

My Betrothed
My beautiful girl
I love you with all
My heart and soul

My dearest Kitty
It is you I adore
With each passing hour
I love you more

My love for you
Is as vast as the sky
When I am with you
My heart wants to fly

My sunshine, my sweetheart
I snuggle with you
I whisper to you softly
I will always be true

You are the light of my life
It is you I dream of
My heart is yours forever
My darling, my love

My Betrothed
My beautiful girl
I love you with all
My heart and soul
