A simple girl
Had to wait a long time
To see each other
They worked hard
Day in and day out
After a loaf of bread rather
At long last
His mother sold her wedding band
A ceremony was performed
Simply
Very grand
The bride and groom posed for pictures
He kissed her forehead
Their glances exchanged
Hand in hand
After a short time
He lost consciousness
Shook
He left the world
No more demand
