The lady was fair and followed the light, Her lover was dark and lived in the night Their romance they knew was doomed from the start Yet they didn’t care, they followed their heart A flaxen haired beauty, noble was she A courteous, gentle, proper lady She came from a family ancient and proud They disliked her love, their protests were loud A prince of the darkness, slender and lithe He lived off of theft, was skilled with the knife. Unlawful and wild, used to deceit He thrived upon shadows, his home was the street. Their love seemed eternal, supple and strong Yet they were so diff’rent, it couldn’t last long His craft was a dark one, riddled with strife A thief in the night; she feared for his life. One eve he was caught, and thrown into jail His sentence was death, the lady did wail All of her pleas, her cries went for naught The evening before, his presence she sought He comforted her through the bars of his cell And with heavy heart, he bid her farewell The guards came for him, they came for her thief They ushered her out, her head bowed in grief The morning arrived, all silent and chill She went to the scaffold, her face pale and still The noose went round his neck, a tear slipped from her eye And she silently cursed those who caused him to die.

Love is truly the great acceptor and forgiver of the ways that separate us. A wonderfully powerful and sadly poignant piece of writing. Thank you for sharing. |
