Midnight Discovery

Upon a midnight of lone decent The death of my love I long repent An eminent maiden from days of yore I evermore grieve in absent adore My rest is halted by commotion Of which I have the least of notion Unbarring the door I stride to explore This occult ruction of which I deplore Afront my stable I spot a maid Upon her dismount atop her jade (The Maid)"Might thee spare a night's bed, for I'm weary And allay me from this late-night dreary?"(The Maid) (Myself)"Enter fair lass, thus procure thee heat I'll fain fulfill that which thou entreat Of your arrival my only query Why do thee trek on a night so leery?"(Myself) (The Maid)"My dwelling vanished amidst fire And my family it did mire Rendered destitute, In dolor I fled To an unmapped journey of ceaseless dread."(The Maid) (Myself)"Alas, dear maiden our fates' entwine Our families rest in lea's divine In supernal fortune, to me you're led I beseech thee to rest upon my bed."(Myself) (The Maid)"Our grief shall end by love's devotion In ageless days of still emotion When dawn arises upon the night's gloom I'll amble the aisle with you as my groom."(The Maid) (Myself)"Yes dear maiden we'll wed the morrow Thus evermore shall cease our sorrow In ample adore forever abloom I grasp thee in vow unto our world's doom."(Myself)
