   Three dread the dawn,                            
     the slave, the thief, and the lover.

   For three, the world is small,
     the dreamer, the ambitious, the star-gazer.

   Life is too short for three,
     the happy, the greedy, the old.

   The wise, the brave, and the good,
     these three shall know no fear.

Ted:

I like what you've done with this poem.  It looks to me that you have incorporated all of the requisite elements and even pulled off a few inner-line parallelisms well.  Good work.
