Eloping Poem by Martin Greyford

BOY- The love I have for you
Has grown so strong and
All I think of is getting you as my wife,
But your parents will not allow
Me to marry you because of my status.
You are a princess of your
Father's and mother's palace.

GIRL - I'm scared,
I'm not scared of tomorrow but now.
The wind will carry them to me.
They know the fragrance of
The perfume I use.
No matter what they'll still follow me.
You're a prince of your father's palace.

BOY - Come take my hand
I can take you to tomorrow
You will be able to see the
Beautiful dawn of tomorrow
If only you allow me to take
You to my father's palace,
Where my abode will be yours as well.

GIRL - I LOVE YOU
Come let's go then
And enjoy ourselves in your land.
Where I will be happy with you forever.
No one will stand in my way
Not even the girls of your land.
Take my hand and let's go.
