In a village small by the sea so blue
Lived a maiden fair with eyes of hue
She dreamed of love both pure and true
And wished for a heart that would be hers too.
One evening under the moon's soft light
A stranger came a gallant knight.
With eyes so kind and smile so bright
He vowed to stay and end her plight.
They walked along the sandy shore
Speaking of dreams forevermore.
Each word they spoke their spirits soared
In each other's hearts love was stored.
But time it seemed was not their friend
For the knight's duty called and he had to defend.
With promises made they'd meet again
He rode away through the valley bend.
Days turned to months seasons to years
The maiden waited through joy and tears.
Her love remained despite her fears
For in her heart his voice she hears.
One fateful day a letter came
Sealed with wax and signed with his name.
He wrote of battles and of fame
But also of love that burned like flame.
He returned to her as promised before
Their love now stronger forever more.
By the sea they vowed they'd part no more
Together at last on love's shore.
So in that village by the sea so blue
Lived the maiden and her knight so true.
Their tale of love both old and new
A ballad of hearts that love grew.
