Beauty and the Beast

Two lovely eyes peered out of the dark at me
Stranger why are you hiding in that cave said she
The world would shriek if they were to see me 
I am a cursed beast that sprung up out of the tumultuous sea

Lovely eyes please don’t stare at me
Your beauty makes me hide my face in shame
Don’t worry beast my kiss will take away your pain

Lovely eyes your kiss has set me free.
But God Lo! what have I done!
My shadow has fallen upon your being!

Now  does’nt that sound like the story of calvary?
The innocent lamb and humanity?
