Maiden Misses Her Fate
Maiden misses her fate down by the sea
Novel has taken her interest away
Missive on her lap quells her light
Sailor ponders whether she might court he
Watching her from shallow part of the bay
Maiden misses her fate down by the sea
She is farmer’s daughter, name of Ashley
Her book is filled with romance, hey! Hey!
Missive on her lap quells her light
He questions himself getting down on a knee
She turns a page, unaware of man in gray
Maiden misses her fate down by the sea
He talks himself out of it; lets her be.
Resigns himself to a lonely life today
Missive on her lap quells her light.
He leaves in his fishing boat quietly
She yawns, not looking up, having no say
Maiden misses her fate down by the sea
Missive on her lap quells her light
