Hearken good people to the tale of Gentle Sven
There is only one thing for which he had a yen
To hear the voice of his lady divine
A voice so sweet and so simply sublime. . .

He waited long to see if he could merely get a vowel
Of her speech for which he did long indeed howl
But alas, alack, 'twas not to be
And so he went back to his misery

So went he another day without her song
And he in his lament did continue to long
How he wished for her once to say
"Good Morrow Gentle Sven," and "Good Day"

Thus ends my tale of the Gentle Sven
And now, I entreat thee my friends
To listen softly to the winds
Where perhaps, his divine lady's song begins. . .

Ahh Sven, seems as if you have a crush on this woman that you describe. This is well-expressed and it's very sad too. Brilliant piece.

Hello Sven...
          
     All you need do, my friend, is read her your thoughts. She cannot possibly resist the gentle words of such a captivating knight!   This was a beautiful work of art!


Today is a gift....
That is why they call it
'the Present'!
