An Unknown Tale

AN UNKNOWN TALE

The hall all prepared,
The princess alas not dressed,
It was a moment of anticipation,
For it was a big celebration.

The princess was sixteen,
Her age to get wedded,
There were brave princes
From the nearby kingdoms,
All ready to take her and crown her.

The princess,
Prettiest of the pretty,
Eyes of a deer,
Hair touching the ground.
Her sight was rare,
Made everyone’s head go round.

Among the bravos,
Appeared the bravest.
He came from a far away kingdom.
His heart was made of gold,
He loved all and was known.

The hall was soon filled,
Everyone hoped to get what they willed.
The bravest calmly
Tied his horse himself.

There was something that no one knew,
The princess was about to depart..
There was a disease unknown
Which could get the two of them apart.

The decision was quick,
The dance was to begin,
The princess wore her black dress
And who could say about the rest.

That night they danced,
A dance never seen before.
They were perfect together
And just then, she fell
He held onto her
How could he let her go?
And suddenly she closed her eyes,
In the arms of her lover.
