He smiled at her mysteriously,
whispered sweet words that turned her red,
sent her to heaven in his bed,
and made her swoon deliriously.
He loved her, but too seriously,
wanted her near him day and night,
broke down in tears at every slight.
She brushed him off imperiously.
He clung to life precariously;
the heavens wept at his dismay;
the sun slunk off; the clouds turned grey;
violins played Stradivariously.
