Fair Maiden, Forever This True Love Hold
In your gold cage, I desire to grow old
in your house of romance, I dance.
Fair maiden, forever this true love hold
our hands were not joined by mere chance!
In thy warm heart, I pray we never part
may we sail upon calm blue seas.
Tis wrong to deny love dwells in each heart
must I now fall on bend-ed knees?
Remember thy vow, June night we first met
that first kiss and its honeyed-glow.
Life is wild, we have won its greatest bet
together we face life's great show!
In your gold cage, I desire to grow old.
Fair maiden, forever this true love hold.
Robert J. Lindley,
