LOVE'S TEST

LOVE’S TEST

 

As the two walked on, Warm summer skies

A smile was seen, Upon two forms

As hand in hand, Youth finding love

New feelings growing, Fresh glow, yes love.

 

Then, in sudden fright, She stopped

A young girl’s scream, Was all he heard

There on the path, On which they walked

An object lie, A snake she thought

 

Then stepping back, Eyes open wide

She clasp her arms, Across her breast

Then forward stepped, her handsome knight

Protecting maiden, from her fright.

 

Brave and bold, his foot reached out

Into the air, the object flew

Away, away, yes there it went

That   awful, fearful frightening threat.

[she smiled]

 

Oh  wicked maiden, yes she knew

But wished to see,  if her knight was true

So there she found, upon their path

A test to see, if he would act.

 

That threat she saw, which caused her fright

to save maiden fair , Kicked by her knight

Was not a threatening,  fearful snake,

But just an old brown,  twisted stick.

[she smiled]
