/// This depiction of painter and girlie
shows a scene from The (verse) Lord of Burleigh.
In the poem I read
he proposed and they wed,
but, the sad part is that she dies early.
/// In what Tennyson penned, the new bride
learns her artist’s far more than implied.
This “plain” man she adored
was a great wealthy Lord.
She was shocked; in a few years she died.
/// She had never been raised to assume
she deserved such a powerful groom.
She believed that her lover
was too high up above her.
Her fate? Leave great estates for a tomb.
/// No fairy-tale “Happ’ly E’er After,”
this tale ends in tears, and not laughter.
A sad shy brainwashed lass
too concerned with her “class.”
(If you think Meghan’s daft— this girl’s dafter.)
