Thus the shepherdess replied, “It’s not my fault” His death hasn’t moved you, shame! You are unmoved by the loss of your lover You treat him as if he were a stranger Thus she replied, “I am not to blame “ “Yes, not his love but I grieve him aloof He had shared so many other lasses They would be sharing the same feelings Unfortunately,” I have no proof” “Ask any shepherdess around any lane He loved far and wide, suffice it to say. Of his unfaithfulness, I drove him away Therefore," I will show no shame”. ============================= Honorable Mention Contest: Four sentences
