A/N: Another assignment from my Brit Lit class--I had to write a Lyrical Ballad. I was counting the syllables--



"Astilbe"

8 - The nightingale has its ballad,

6 - the roses their beauty.

8 - My songs are lazy and pallid,

6 - my face a cruelty.


8 - You dug me up amongst the few,

6 - sans brilliance is me.

8 - Where I was then, Astilbe grew--

6 - In thy heart , will I be?
