A valuable virtue that is still alive even though in the minority. A rich and refreshing rhyme scheme my friend!

Magnificent ode, not so much old fashioned as well groomed with etiquette which in todays age of show and tell is not a bad thing to have. This shows a pride that many a young women should take care to see. Your language Is rich and reminiscent of classics. A Fine maiden who shines a beacon of temperance and love. Cool read

An old fashioned ditty, but great structure and rhymes. Sentiments definitely predate the sexual revolution.

Old fashioned in the eyes of the new generation! But it fathoms deep into the root of the sacred values of life and upholds the sanctity of marriage! I love this poem and give you a 10

These words confirm the maiden`s most striking credibility as a lady in waiting. Marriage is the true union of minds and I think in the West too more of you ought to get married like we the Indians do. Hope this maiden will find her true life partner soon.

A great poem, less and less people marry these days. Maybe we should go back to how it used to be.

This is deep wish in the heart of all maidens...this is what they are created for, I believe. So thumbs up for giving voice to purest feelings.

when a girl sleeps with a male, her intention is to marry him and lead a blissful life..When our society and culture take this responsibility, the burden is laid with a young and naive maiden in certain culture..very sad, but people say it is all right. The message from the heart of a maiden, Dear Vale Dohren...10
