Ballad Of The Maiden 5

Fair Maiden, Could This Be “I come from a battle,” He started “It is far from this land I fought valiantly but it was in vane For I had lost, I had to give my love to the victor I have since then traveled the road Somewhere along with it I have lost a piece of my heart” “I am sorry,” joined the maiden “I have been left confused and distressed Another has refused to leave me be I have been wondering this road I became tired and lonely So I sat to rest” She sparrow soared when she heard his voice It was strong and kind His face showed his journeys struggle As they talked over food and wine She secretly laid her heart down Not wanting to aggravate him The maiden shall wait to see if he lays his heart down as well Could this be her lover?
