Unloved.

Topics: classic

Paler than the water's white     Stood the maiden in the shade,     And more silent than the night     Were her lips together laid;     Eyes she hid so long and still     By lids wet with unshed tears,     Hands she loosely clasped at will,     Though her heart was full of fears.     Never, never, never more     May her soul with joy be moved;     Silent, silent, silent, - for     He was silent whom she loved.
