In Chamber Wait



Long the days of memories past
Ivy on walls rooted deep
Gallant knight on horses fast
Young maiden imprisoned weeps

Time hath but all hopes erased
Word of her prince no more
Delicate fingers ‘round locket traced
Tears to dampen the floor

Eyes no longer the gardens see
Though upon horizon stare
Hoping a glimpse her heart to free
Fall from walls of despair

Long the days of memories past
Young lovers in passion's bed
Gone the scent their bodies cast
When passion's hunger was fed

Torment stains such fair a face
Guided by fear and dread
Of a day should courier pace
To bring her news he is dead

What of war does she most hate
Alone no victory's felt
Gallant knight or duty's fate
Whose pain upon heart does pelt

Riderless horse in garden below
Footsteps her heart alarms
Door flung wide her eyes bestow
So loving his outstretched arms!
