She sat beside the window looking sad
Whilst those around her naturally were glad
Her wedding day had loomed so very fast
But she was still in love with one who'd passed.

That day he'd come to take her for his own
Her happiness was such her heart had flown
To bring him ever faster to her side
Where she was waiting, soon to be his bride.

Her happiness was never meant to be
An accident had happened...fatally
She was with child, who now would never know
The father whom she knew would love her so.

And now she sits and waits with breaking heart
Though no one knew, her soul was torn apart
Today she'd wed a man she didn't know
Because her parents said she'd shamed them so.

To her it didn't matter whom she wed
Her heart belonged to one who was now dead.
