I found a letter on the ground,
most precious note I ever found.

And when I read its lovely theme,
no other lovely thought could seem

to touch the world as this fine note
which finely penned what someone wrote

to his lost love, his one and only
soulmate, alone, lost and lonely.

Two lovers, separate and denied
a lovers' love, husband and bride

who claimed to pledge til death do part,
yet, no claim prospered, no pledge of heart

came to be, on way to church and steeple
in front of church and church bound people

she lost her life, a tragic moment,
a lifeless, tragic, denied bestowment.

And when the crowds had disappeared
as crowds do when stunned crowds are cleared,

there lay this letter from one, now broken -
his letter, his heart, his vows unspoken.
