I had taken an oath 

The more I see the less I speak.

So while I sat there burning with love I

 could not speak 

For my personal creed won't let me

Many suitors tried to sweep you off your feet.

I knew I had your heart but could not speak

For I saw them come to you nonstop.

My love for you raged brightly 

But the more I see the less I could speak.

I let them take swings at you.

I sat and watched.

My vow restraining me.

They kept coming to you 

Nonstop a beautiful damsel you are.

The marks upon you told a story I desired to know 

My vow kept me silent.

Now I see you leaving me 

For another may have wooed  you 

To the power of God 

It may have caught up with you 

Now I sit in grief for I have lost another love 

O wretched man 

The princess you seek may be in the hands of another.
