Clandestine Love

He with Cupid winged the nighttime air While she with Muses pondered unaware Both speared by Cherub’s flying arrow tips Invoking praises of love from their lips The duo in clandestine did converse Trading vows and pledges all unrehearsed Fearing on kinsmen’s ears their words would land They in their youthful minds devised a plan Fast he to God’s holy confessor fled Beseeching his consent for them to wed While she a façade wore and lightly stepped As beneath her tongue their secret she kept Yet when they attempted the perfect crime Neither knew not how short would be their time
