The Story (Poem #280, Shakespearean Sonnet)
by Sir Richard Fitzalan (m/k/a Richard Edwards)

The velvet night is quiet like the glade
in some forgotten tale of yore where he,
the hero of the story, found the maid
and stole his way beside her, there to see
her sleeping in the fragrant grass, her head
lay cushioned on her cloak of silk that paled
when seen beside her silken hair of red.
His eyes did not his heart protect but hailed,
his soul as herald's trumpet call. He neared
to her and knelt as she while smiling dreamed.
He bending kissed her brow, her cheek his beard
caressed. He rose, withdrew, or so it seemed,
but when the sun in springtime splendor rose
they woke entwined or so the story goes.
