she sat beside the window looking out
a world now blurred by burden of her tears
by sorrow sated, yet she had no doubt
that morn would bring to life her secret fears
upon her lap lay all his letters bound
the multitude of dreams that he had shared
his picture slipped from fingers to the ground
along with all the hopes that he had bared
she pressed to heaving chest the latest one
in which he pledged his love undying true
He hoped with rose her heart he'd finally won
it was a symbol of his passion's hue
all this she pondered as she sat and sighed
for love forbidden had to be denied
