Ruth

Ruth.



Though your morsel now a tear
And your apparel now a wear,
Behold I shall not let go;
I shall not forsake you my goal.

I shall not desert  my dear,
Though your morsel now a tear,
The oak was great,you’re my glory;
The oak now ash, you’re my story.

Sad the storm drenches you in cold,
I must hence with all me you hold;
Though  your morsel now a tear,
The stress and labour for my rear.

No I shall not ,I shall not let go,
I shall hold you tight my goal;
I shall hold you with fanfare,
Though your morsel now a tear.

The only quatern in the contest; seems like quintain was vastly preferred. You have great sadness in this poem as well as considering what Ruth had to endure physically, and it ends on a feeling of togetherness and devotion: all very positive things. I could wish, however, that there was more focus on the actual person and words of Ruth, as most of the poem could be applied to any number of people.
