William J. Jr. Atfield Poet Rhyme

Stories That Were Sung

Stories that were sung .

Minstrels of old, once, did tell, stories 
in songs, we have come to know the glories 
of times long passed, of Guinevere, of Camelot, 
of the love of a brave, persistent knight, Sir Lancelot.
 
Minstrels of old, told us of Romeo and Juliet, 
figures of love, we know of, yet never met, 
except in the stories Minstrels told 
as they travelled many a road.

From town to town, to town 
they gave us songs of the renown, 
sung their song of the many ways of love, 
battles fought gallantly to raise the bar, far above.
