Seated in Splendor

Seated before all she awaits her price
Above the barter, beyond the desire her life is at stake
Fetching roase to those that see her beauty, a beauty she was born to yet grants her no sanctuary
Still and quiet the journey continues, as her life bids before her
Twas this the life, tis this what love deem worthy of her suitor, that trade or bribery should lavish a life before her.

For as a daughter of a king she shines more brilliant than diamonds
Like the chains bounds to a peasant, she gives way to nothing, yet reserves her freedom
Twas the night cold that shivers the body so too tis the love in her heart for a honorable suitor
For a princess she is, and queen she shall be
If given gold, melding to a basin will it become
Furnished with jewels, not more than a token will it last
Bequested a heart, a life of joys and endless age will grow and more abundantly among all will she provide
Yet await her price and reward her diligence a thief will he be
As robbing a babe from its cradle so it shall be known a man robbed this wondrous beauty from life more abundant within the days of love

Stead fast oh valiant knight, your prize is here
Hold firm noble king, for a queen is to be made from your victory
Be still strong and faithful heart, for dare you to dream of the one you love should come and save you solemn soul.
Over the mount through deaths valley, and behind heavens gates, save your soul for it is forever
With a grateful and humble deed, love you shall receive for no man is without a woman and no bride without her groom
Trust in love for it is real, before bargain, beyond barter, and above trade, your patience is rewarded with prize of a faithful servant.

Be now happy and joyfully resound for your love is with you
Hand in hand, heart in heart, you are now one and rightly so
As no blossom is beauty without its stem, so it is as love with patience.
True beauty cannot come without ones efforts and instilled heart of gratefulness
