Her heart is softened,
Throbbing out of its depths,
From the core of its logic
And the very shell of doubt,
Piecing itself, a-hundred,
Glowing forth majestic, free,
Lighting up the cavity, the walls
Of her reserve, only, just because
You show yourself pure and true,
You persist, and brave, and loose
Your inner chivalry.*
