After many years in the wilderness far
He came unto a forest glade
And there he found beneath a star
A love that God and Man forbade.
A creature stood in the clearing there
The most beautiful girl he’d ever seen
With a swirling mane of auburn hair
And sparkling eyes of emerald green.
He notched an arrow to his bow
And let it fly straight through her heart
And when she bled it hurt him so
He wished that they would never part.
But love that filled her wounded breast
Seeped out upon the forest floor;
He mourned the one he loved the best
As love’s heart died and beat no more.
