Princess and her Slave

Daily walked the princess
In her palace up and down,
Wearing jewels
And her royal blue gown,
While her young slave
Grew paler every day,
Seeming to waste
His life away,
For he loved the princess
Hopelessly
And he suffered in misery,
Eventually to die,
And the princess
Never knew why...
