Two knights rode forth at early dawn A-seeking maids to wed, Said one, " My lady must be fair, With gold hair on her head." Expectations for a future life together. very good poem. tony

A great story. Yes what we want and what we get are two different things. good that those kinghts knew how to adjust. A quality so often downplayed and overlooked nowadays.

A Ballad of Two Knights’ by Sara Teasdale is a five stanza ballad poem that tells the st. CONGRATULATIONS to her family and God's Blessings! A TOP Score of 10 for this beautiful poem full of introvert humor, but constantly of amusing quality. Teasdale caught chronic pneumonia and it weakened her not only in body but also in mind and spirit. No longer able to see the beauty in simple things, Teasdale committed suicide at age 48 in New York,

A beautiful poem with a meaningful message. We can never dictate what the heart wants. It has its own course.

And the moral of this story is, that sometimes what we THINK we want, is not truly what we do want. Or else, we end up with something other than what we thought we wanted. An interesting poem by Sara Teasdale!

I love reading historical novels during those periods of knights and castles and kings. I enjoyed your rendition of a scene from those times. Ben
