| A Lady's Love
My heart will not be controlled My love not made to emit soft light Like the timid candle, but burn bright As the cleansing forest flame of might Purifying my soul in Heaven's sight My heart will not be harried My love not made to prove its trust As those before a courtroom must But stand alone as one true and just May all else of this world fall to dust My heart will not be varied My love not pass from man to man Not run my life as campaigns are ran But remain faithful, as per my plan When I pledge those words - "I do" - I can My heart will be bold My love not made to idly wait As diner anticipates the plate But, actively hunt as lioness for mate Just as strong and just as great |
