• He walks up to her to ask her hand,
    Father and Mother don't like this man.
    He was of dark territory in the moon's pale beam,
    Funny how a girl's taste will lean towards a boy with no seam.

    Taking his hand she let's him lead her away,
    They run and play through fields of hay.
    Mother and Father mad at their daughter,
    They think only of the boy's slaughter.

    He stands and fights,
    He and she both have rights.
    Father and Mother can't see their love is true,
    She vows to Mother and Father that if she and he are not near together her parents shall rue.

    He cannot stop them from taking her away,
    In her room she falls to her knees to pray.
    Mother and Father hear her tears and pleas that night,
    They go to her room and find a tragic site.

    She was right,
    Father and Mother did rue after the fight.
    Daughter wrote a note,
    And cut her throat.

    Note goes to him,
    Saddness is his again.
    A love so strong,
    Others thought it was wrong.

    Mother and Father finally see their daughters was right,
    To bad they did not see it was before the fight.
    Before daughter turned to the Death,
    Before their daughter's last breath.
