In peaceful slumber, so my heart did sleep
Tho’ love acknowledged, ne’er given freedom’s reign
To disturb repose, nor garner undue pain
No broken dreams perchance my heart to weep.
Yet how much more to guard the outer gate,
And buttress up the towering walls of stone
Than seek agreement ‘tween my heart, my own
United, sleeping peacefully, contented and alone
Then straight into the courtyard, a single rider’s sent,
Traitorous heart awakens to hear the lover’s longing calls
And whispers gently, see his form, his pure intent
Open up to love implores, break down the towering walls
‘Tis not for destruction, but for love he’s bent
Oh mutinous heart, how swiftly, surely falls.
