His Heart's Twin

He undertook

  Such a jolly folly

To search for his heart's twin

 

O'er plain, and peak

   Never sparing daring

Mad quest he did begin

 

He careless spent

  All his funny money

For he spared no expense

 

Heard of a man

   said to uncover lovers

Without a recompense

 

"He's only known

   as the Giant Bryant"

For there were none bigger

 

So off he went

  For how dare-he tarry

With the greatest vigor

 

Within one moon

  He did righted sighted

The giant's stone castle

 

And cautious stepped

  Midst the towers flowers

For he was quite facile

 

With guarded prose

  Lest he adverse converse

Relayed his quest of years

 

And though none be

  A more mighter blighter

Tall Bryant shed six tears

 

"Your search for love"

    Reflects gallant talent

And will surely quench thirst

 

In yonder vale

  In a deeping sleeping

A daughter who's born first

    

A true love's heart

   And hair flaxen waxen

Braids tressed with a blue fleur

 

She longs for love

    To keep-her deeper

Hope steels her to endure

 

It was just so

  For he found-her sounder

In the vale with fields green

 

Her braided hair

   In breeze saving waving

With the suns golden sheen

 

As he held her

  In their blissing kissing

Knew he'd ne'er search again

 

For in her eyes

   Shown a growing knowing

Reflecting his hearts twin
