Ballad Of The Maiden 2

Fair Maiden with The Scholar In the castle, built of brick and stone A scholar of science lives and works He has never ventured beyond the walls He would rather not He says that it holds no sound truth The truth he has been looking for Inside the walls Somehow he captured her heart She swoons at his knowledge Of the world and of the stars But as time goes on she has changed He holds fast still to the old ways She no longer feels for him Her sparrow has never acknowledged For he had never acknowledged it His heart has nothing to give her Nothing that would be worthy of giving So the maiden had to leave the castle For her place was not with scrolls and books to love
