for you, the breeze and the birds that soar
all the seas fathomless, and all the radiant shores
the valleys bloom in flower for
your eyes
and before you unfurl these endless azure skies
for you the moon and the star-studded nights
for you the sunsets and dawn’s first light
the glittering streams in the hills verdant green
strive to be worthy by you to be seen
for you alone was the world beautiful made
the mountain paths meandering for your feet were laid
but for you, the world in darkness would’ve lain
it is your beauty that it tries to match, but in vain

There's a beautiful Sangam poem along these lines-
To Tirumal
In fire, you are the heat.
In flowers, you are the scent.
Among stones, you are the diamond.
In words, you are truth.
Among virtues, you are love.
In a warrior's wrath, you are strength.
In the Vedas, you are the secret.
Of the elements, you are the first.
In the scorching sun, you are the light.
In the moonlight, you are the softness.
Everything, you are everything,
the sense, the substance, of everything.
-Katuvan Illaveyinar
