Maria, Rhapsody, Be Thy Name.... (A Quatern)

Maria, Rhapsody, Be Thy Name.
You Enthrall Me, With Ecstasy, Unrestrained.
Venus's, Aphrodite's, Neither's Allure
Matches The Magic Which You Outpour.

Rapture Goddess, I do proclaim,
Maria, Rhapsody, Be Thy Name,
Your Paradise, Heaven, Every Time, I Get Lost In.
I'm Exhilarated, By You, Time And Time, Again.

Your, Unmatched, Majesty, I Do Exclaim.
Never Have I Known, A More Wonderful Thing.
Maria, Rhapsody, Be Thy Name.
A Chorus, Of Praise, To You, The Angel's Sing.

Stupefied, I Am, By Your Spell, Sublime.
My Heart, My Soul, My All, Aflame.
I'm Intoxicated, By You, Every Single Time.
Maria, Rhapsody, Be Thy Name...
