Their Love Burned Bright
She eyed him toiling 'round the palace grounds
He glanced at her, the pace slowed down at times
They knew the love they felt was out of bounds
They even might be hung for such a crime
No matter how denied, their love burned bright
They made a sacred vow to see it through
Despite the rules and laws, their love felt right
The flame inside them danced to life renewed
'Twas at the height of fiery passion pure
Her father heard of what his daughter'd done
He grew to hate this common worker sure
Who'd come to mock his daughter and make fun
The standard way to end these kinds of tales
~ Kings throw their daughters' lover-boys in jail...
...Gendarmes...s'il vous plait...
La fin
