A Tale Of Love

In a land far away, lived a maiden sweet A princess by birth, she was pretty petite Alas! She fell in love with a bard commoner The king called their alliance a misdemeanour And confined her inside the castle regal. The bard was a charming man, quite wise He sneaked inside the fort, in disguise And tried to cajole his lover, forlorn With pretty flowers, he tried to adorn The fair lady, who stole his soul. Their love blossomed like fair snowdrops in spring They proved to each that it wasn't a mere fling The kinsmen came and tried to shove But none could dissever their love Until they were buried live in the royal sepulchre.   Penmancy gets a small share of every purchase you make through these links, and every little helps us continue bringing you the reads you love!
