Spoiler! :
Don't give your love to the shepherd boy,
Don't give your love to the knight;
Don't give your love to the lowly page,
Though his teeth are flashing bright.
Weave your love on your special loom,
With tenderness and care;
Weave it now, for one day soon,
You'll find your prince so fair.
Will you give your love to the shepherd boy?
Or will you wait, instead?
Will you treat your loom like a child's toy?
Or will purity crown your head?
No, I won't give in to the shepherd boy,
I won't give in to the page;
I won't give in to the foolish knight,
Though a war for my heart has been waged.
I'll hold out long for my perfect prince,
No matter how weary the wait.
I must be strong for my perfect prince--
If only he'd come today!
I will fight to keep my loom secure--
I must protect what is mine!
They have no right to taint what is pure--
My prince will come in time!
Spoiler! :
And gah. I fear I'm too cliche, but a lot of this is necessary for what I want in this poem.
