Some time ago, there came to be, a gorgeous dame, just twenty-three
Beauty she was, in entirety, with eyes so blue, as deepest sea
Kind and gentle, she cared for all, the rich, the poor, the short, the tall
A heart of gold, her charm enthralled, she loved the big, adored the small
But something was hiding, behind her bright smile, a thing she that she longed for, a love to beguile
She watched all around her, all of the while, dreamed of her own day, to walk down the aisle
Despite her perfection, the kindest of soul, her father was evil, forbidding that stroll
His eyes never left her, he took a hard toll, his heart was pure hatred, and blacker than coal
He feared all the others, and made the decree, no one shall wed her; she’ll stay here with me
He assumed that all men, they all thought like he; and viewed other women, as their property
A day fine’ly came, and much to her joy, a kind man arrived, a respectable boy
But sadly the dad, became quite annoyed, the kind man he shunned, the girl’s dream destroyed
Fearing him not, the man formed a plan, to save this fine lady, to win her fine hand,
To free the fair maiden, from father and land, to give her a life, where she’s in command
So off the ‘gent went, partook in this quest, to find the solution, he puffed out his chest
He saddled his horse, he put on his vest, in love he believed, in armor he dressed
He rode through the night, through thick and through thin, the hot and the cold, still air, and the wind
He fought many battles, when chances were slim, passion would guide him, love always would win
At last the day came, to fight for the girl, and meet eye to eye, the father, this Earl
And as their blades clashed, the swish and the swirl, the maiden came out, her hand clasped a pearl
She shouted to them, “Please, just get along!”, and “Why”, to the father, “What is so wrong?”
“Why say you hate him, he doesn’t belong? Why can’t you see how our love is so strong?”
And as the girl cried, she fell to her knees, she begged for her father, to put doubt at ease
To let his grip go, to fine’ly appease, she begged it be so, with passion, and “please”
As the damsel distressed, the dad heard her cry, he turned and he faced her, a tear in his eye
“My dear I’m so sorry, for all of this time, I’ve missed your poor mother, I’ve needed respite”
Hearing these words, the kind man dropped his sword, he hugged the poor father, whose words had struck chord
“Forgive me”, Dad said, “I’ve been a bad ward, your life is your own, to live and go ‘ford”
And so on that day, the girl fine’ly found, the love that she’d dreamed of, her chains were unbound
All men can change, when truth is abound, remember this story, when tough times come around
