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
