Lysander
November 30, 2014
Though temptrest of thy mourning's glow
Shining through to light the morrow
Of the glistening tear upon thy cheek
From a youth's crystal eyes they leak
A golden beauty's vanity
Gnarled and twisted by insanity
A life so bless'd, now befallen
Upon a child, breaking and sullen
She stares upon the cracked rock head
Mourning for that which she thinks is dead
If his demise was your cause
Wrapprd in envy's sinful gauze
I ask that if this bloodshed's true
That your wrath be wrought upon her too

This is based on my favorite Shakespeare play, A Midsummer Night's Dream when Hermia believes Lysander is dead at the hands of Demitrius.
