He bestow to me a child in part,   
I wholly gave my fairest heart   
Yearning of my soul, please don't whither now,  
Unborn child a gift.    
      
My love came, it went, and no man should suffer     
You deserve my kiss, the kiss of a lover  
      
May my voice reach you, it may now be my fear,                                                                                  
Your voice perhaps our child may hear    
A thoughtful glance, a spendid view,   
Its something that we never knew.

It is beautiful like mentioned above, but I detect a hint of sadness too

May my voice reach you, it may now be my fear,
Your voice perhaps our child may hear

I liked the use of the unborn child here as a central reflector for the relationship, as well as the varying rhyme scheme, which supports and melodically structures the speaker's personal address to the beloved. Excellent, Sally.
