Towers of Grey

He rode in on a promise that built a frail being a King to the North he tried all kingdoms of heaven he did mount to find the maidens hand which he knew All kingdoms heard the wolfs yell at the end of the long winter they did fall the kings brother did fight with contempt and danced and sang as the soldiers wept He asked for forgiveness till all hearts cried looking for the fair haired maiden he knew so well a Queen she was to be made, on this very night a promise was broken, said the knights of old The young man, searched high and low could not know the battles were plenty at the Towers of Grey where the widows do lay the fair haired maiden cries her last tears and prays..

Sounds Like Edgar Allen Poe's Fair Maiden ? And No One Could Know A Love As This Love Their Love..Inside The Sepulchre She Waits Her Sea; Two Heart's Thus Twined And There Is He; Calling Love's Light While Darkness Abides To Recede, Time's Tides...No, Nay A King Yet She His Queen Shall Awaken From This, Their Dream....Very Nice The Depth Amid Your Lovely Verse....Love, Jeremy *
