A shrine for love (Pic. MarcBW, Wikimedia Commons) |
A poor man
Lost his love
He lamented and lamented
And lamented till he died
Alone
Heartbroken
An Emperor
Lost his love
He lamented and lamented
And built a shrine
So the world could remember his love
And him also
It cost a fortune
And also his crown
Oh, and some workers who worked to death
And the designer who lost his hands
He died in prison
Lamenting for love and lamenting for crown
Alone
Heartbroken
Which love was stronger?
The poor man’s?
The Emperor’s?
Which love was holier?
Lost his love
He lamented and lamented
And lamented till he died
Alone
Heartbroken
An Emperor
Lost his love
He lamented and lamented
And built a shrine
So the world could remember his love
And him also
It cost a fortune
And also his crown
Oh, and some workers who worked to death
And the designer who lost his hands
He died in prison
Lamenting for love and lamenting for crown
Alone
Heartbroken
Which love was stronger?
The poor man’s?
The Emperor’s?
Which love was holier?
