To Thee That I Love

My soul has found treachery
Thrust upon thou and me
My heart breaks with discovery
Dearest, thou places blame on me

As heir to a kingdom’s throne
Mine father’s heart hast turned to stone
Mine heart’s desire seems but unknown
By thee, my lady, in lands alone

Dare I spite my father’s word
Dare I leave this love unheard
Dare I free my lovely bird
Dare I not – would be absurd

Search thine heart for feelings true
Know always I have cherished you
Thine blood will bleed a royal blue
E’er I shall come to your rescue

Pray, no longer doubt my heart
His kingdom shant keep us apart
If it’s war he wants – henceforth I’ll start
But thine love I’ll have afore it’s dark
