In Sparrows Woods.

In Sparrow Woods.
____________

There was a Lady
I once knew,
who lived alone
in Sparrows Woods;
She had the clearest
Eyes of Blue.
(With A Heart of Nobility,
Pure and Good.)

Then Upon the Mid-span
of Her Life,
Love came knocking
on Her Door;
and She let a Stranger
come Inside.
(to throw his Baggage
on The Floor.)
_____________

But soon enough their
Love grew Sour,
(more bitter with
each Passing Hour)
until Her once Great
Heart grew cold!
(and crumbled like
A Frozen Flower.)

So now That Lady
I once knew,..
who lived Alone in
Sparrows Woods,
has Darkness in
Her Eyes of Blue,
and Curses All
Things Pure and
Good!
____________

Angels from
their Starlit Place,
could not foresee
this twist of Fate;
or Know the Loss
A Mortal Knows,
when Love turns
into Hate!

(thus most of
them still
Celebrate.)
__________

I took my Baggage
off The Floor,..and
(giving her one final
Look)

headed quickly
for the Door!

(to live Alone in
Sparrows Woods.)
