Star-Crossed Lovers

Contributed by Stoney1 on Monday, 5th July 2004 @ 12:27:23 PM in AEST
Topic: LostLove

She took her tea
In a fine china cup
While an old chipped mug
Served as his to sup

He was Catholic
And very devout
She, a High Protestant
Whom conventions would flout

He was handsome
A true son of the soil
While, she was winsome
And not meant for hard toil

It was in the market
On a warm spring day
Each, saw the other
In that special way

So the two met
And fell in love
The young man, the lass,
And a small... White Dove

To mark their special
Happiness you see
And each felt blessed
'til eternity

It was just a year
Since they'd been wed
Chancing to walk home
Another way instead

Their cozy cottage
Lie off the Crumlin Road
Near the Borstal Arms
A Republican abode

The lovers tarried
To share a wee cuddle
As the cruel bomb's blast
Turned their street to rubble

The hard men
On each side paused
Momentarily saddened...
At such a terrible loss

What price Freedom...
What price the bloody Crown

Stoney, 23 November '98, Revised 18 May 2002

Fortunately, things have gotten a lot better in the old country since I wrote this one.
