A Love That Could Never Be
(THE PRINCESS AND THE PAUPER)
Though suffering this sadness, these years pass
memories take one back through the darkness,
alas made aware of our diverse class
this common soul societies artless.
For truth and nobleness I searched in vain
an answer from many I tried but failed,
one heart forlorn condemned and full of pain
a recipe of love forever jailed.
Lady when such a soul as you is born
an English Rose in full bloom cannot compare,
even here in endless nights with no morn
the vision I hold never to impair.
Whence here the only light that ever shone
a token of our beginning long gone.
