++ The Lowly's Song ++

The sky is my shelter,
And the ground is my bed.

Ragged clothes adorn me,
Though warmth, it does not give.

A slice of yesterday’s bread,
Grateful, I will be to eat.

A second glance you will not give me,
For what describes me, is not beauty.

Ah tell me, what should I do?
When love comes, unexpectedly.

You, I grow to dearly love,
Yet I, shall never reach you.

For I, the lowly, cannot love,
You, The High, the prince of this land.
