Boy in Blue

On the shore,

stands the boy in blue.

He waits for the return,

of his beloved true.



It has been two months,

since she went away.

He always thought,

she would return someday.



One day, he received a note,

when he read it, he learned.

She was leaving him for another,

because he possessed the things for which she yearned.



He crumpled the letter,

and threw it on the ground.

He walked away,

to a place he would never be found.



He pined for her,

and began to moan and cry.

As he wiped his tears away,

he knew he was going to die.



He was found in the water. .

he had thrown himself in the ocean deep.

As fifes and drums can be heard,

he sleeps his eternal sleep.
