My Nobleman

He came to me last night

Dressed as a nobleman of days gone by

And with chilvalry he did kneel before me

To hold my hand reverently in his

Kissing it with humility to appease me

And soften my view before he could start

To tell me what was troubling his heart

And I, as a noble Lady must,

Did bow my head once to convey my trust

And he sighed with relief

And made light his grief

Then stood up gallantly looking into my coy eyes

With a grace that could only come from one sincere

And began to tell me secrets only a lover could reveal

That he was tormented by loving feelings for me

And wanted me as his wife forever and for real

He promised to love me and provide for me

Every day of his life even if he must steal

On this he was adamant and made me believe

I was to be the luckiest bride and could now leave

My old life behind which was torn at the seams

And live happily ever after with my nobleman

Who was swift to sweep me up on his steed

And ride away gallantly to live in joy and peace.
