Harpie

Harpie

Along a darkened road

By a glistening brook

A lonely maid sat waiting

For a love to come along

She waited very patiently

She could not comprehend

Why no one ever came looking?

What caused her heart to rend?

Eventually no one remembered

The poor maid waiting there

Till all that was left of her

Was her long luxurious hair

Then there came a minstrel

Lacking proper resources

He used the hair for strings

And the bones for harp pieces

When he brought it to town

The hair played its own tale

The lesson learned by all?

Sometimes even the good fail
