The Lady of Shalott

To love the perfect knight
To love Lancelot now
And forever
To give your heart so true
To surrender your destiny
Because your heart is right
Because this love was good
To abandon jealousy
To sacrifice one's life
Because to know love
Means you have no control
Over the choice of the other
To live and forgive
To love and to offer
She was broken by her love
For he loved another
And while he was honored
By her heart
He could not abandon his own
For his love was just as deep
Just as true
Morally good or wrong
It would not be gone
By anything but the worst catastrophe
And the one who loves
Never desires sorrow
For the one beloved
