I chanced upon a green-filled glade.
On soft cool grass my head I laid.
I closed my eyes, behind them danced,
Visions heretofore unglanced.

A lady fair, a lovely princess,
Awaiting her lover's sweet caress.
My breath escaped, a tiny gasp,
When in his arms she was soon clasped.

He bent his head and kissed her lips,
While tenderly stroking with fingertips.
They lay together, happy and content,
Knowing their hour would soon be spent.

And when the time to part came near,
She cried out, distressed, in fear
"Do not leave me alone and fearful"
Her deep blue eyes becoming tearful.

Said he, "Don't worry my Princess Delicious,
I will protect you from those malicious.
My heart, I swear, belongs alone to you,
For you there is nothing I won't do."

She smiled then, and bade him leave,
Tying her ribbon to his sleeve.
"Wear this then til we meet tonight,
To keep me close, my Prince Delight."
