The Daughter Of A Duke

He was a farmers son

She, daughter of a duke

Her name was Lucy

While his name was Luke


Her kingdom under attack

Away with her sister she fled

Her mother killed, by one of the soldiers

Then she lay in a bed


Then next day her father comes

He tell her she must flee

Then her father is killed also

Now she must fly like a bee


Her and her sister collapse

Into the ground they go

Then hear two horses in the distance

Then hears a voice say “Whow”


Then she faints

Darkness flooding her eyes

She feels her self being lifted

Then consciousness she gives her goodbyes


She awakes in a sofa

In front of her a fire

In the corner of the room a woman

Singing while bending a wire


The woman speaks

“Rest my dear”,

“You’ve come a long way”,

“There’s nothing to fear”


So she goes back to sleep

Then she awakes again

She goes on a walk

The singing she began


Then runs into a stranger

His hair dark like ground

His face perfectly shaped

How glad she was to him she found


For he is the one in the meadow

She could see his pearcing brown eyes

Dark like wood they shone with compassion

And then they bid their goodbyes


Then they meet over again

Day after day, week after week

They meet in the spot

Love is what they both seek


Then he says

Will you marry

She starts to cry

Her face into his chest she’ll bury


Then she inherits her fathers kingdom

“We are royals”,she says with much laughter

By his side they rule the land

And that is there happily ever after
