When Her True Love Calls, Answer Back With Glee

When Her True Love Calls, Answer Back With Glee

When duty calls torn heart to disobey
deep desires riding upon eager tides.
Pay no heed to what this sad world may say
seek that realm where her waiting heart resides.

Look not at coming battles bringing pains
with naysayers trampling thy highest hopes.
For true love found, brings its own blessed gains
not misery fallen from steep, dark slopes.

When her true love calls, answer back with glee
and thy union shall send its great rewards.
For each morn, tis her thy soul wants to see,
life together, thy soul shall work towards.

What this dark world does its best to destroy
love and light of truth ye must then employ.
