In the dark, he crept forward like a thief.
While in the forest, he moved not a leaf.
Without one's knowledge, he had to wander
But he had no time to stop and ponder.
A secret, a promise he had to keep
To a heart he knows with a love so deep.
They had all told him about the dangers
Scoffing at the meeting of two strangers.
They advised this for they knew not the truth
But they did not know her so he stayed mute.
So ignoring them, he came anyway
By the light of the moon, he found his way.
Because a promise he still had to keep.
To a heart he knows with a love so deep.
