Gravely Mistaken

There was a man that lived they said his whole life in grief and dread A fool who did but once entwine in his arms a maiden fine Love for those in stories told of how this legend would unfold This lass on many a night did leave her husband’s loving sight To a cottage in the town she would sneak without a sound Inside a fire warm and glowing secret shadows flames were throwing Two alone they thought they were until her husband did appear Vengeance burned inside his chest as the dagger pierced her breast Dying words she did utter “You jealous fool he’s my brother”
