A Proposal

A pale moon-lit night and a gentle breeze.

A young boy and girl walking hand in hand,

Whispering quietly to each other beneath the trees

Walking and talking quietly. Hand in hand,

The young boys eyes shon and he spoke with ease:

 

Fiery eyes - a wonderous sight;

Silken hair - black and long;

Rosy cheeks - pink on white;

"I love you my dear" - a lovers song.

Beautiful alive- a lily of the night!

 

Next to the brook they stopped to see

The water slipping past them - just the two.

Two young lovers wanting to pay the fee -

The fee for love that they both knew.

He looked at her and said: "Please marry me"
