Virgin Pure, Untouched By Evil In Men Where sun has fallen down in land so fair hides a lone tombstone hidden in woods deep. Death had caught a beauty so very fair, that all three - Sun, sky and wind sadly weep. Shining, in bloom of youth and quite carefree she of the forest glen had Nature's love. Her tender heart she had given to me, now her heart and sweet soul rests far above. Weeping willows, pond where white flowers thrive I see her wading its magical scenes. Dear mercy! If only she were alive instead of buried there, in her late teens! In night dreams, I see her in forested glen. Virgin pure, untouched by evil in men. Robert J. Lindley, 2-02-2018 Sonnet, (Death Of The Enchanting Forest Maiden)

THANKS. YOU KNOW HERE--THE DEEPER THEY ARE, THE FASTER THEY FALL. Especially true of real sonnets methinks or is that just me?
