Fair Maiden, Sweet Princess, Divinely Sent

Fair Maiden, Sweet Princess, Divinely Sent In festering sea, brackish waters merged with salt we found our earthly lives, almost came to a halt. Maiden fair, standing so proud and with honor free O' how majestically, all marvel at thee! Beautiful princess, olden gods blessed thee true thy graceful words, truth shown courageous and anew. Never again, shall man see one so fine and fair with thy gentle smiles and luminous golden hair. How rests thee? Far away in heavenly abode? Thou art truly missed, rarest treasure once bestowed. Pray we true, for thy most blessed and safe return precious gift we seek yet in no way can we earn. Pray thee! Cast thy soft countenance upon our shores. Relieve us from this dark house, its decaying floors. Robert J. Lindley, Sept 6th, 1986 Syllables Per Line: 12 12 12 12 0 12 12 12 12 0 12 12 12 12 0 12 12 Total # Syllables: 168 Total # Words: 122
