Inspired by a real life elopement causing a rift in the family

Once upon a time there lived a beautiful girl
Her eyes enclosing a shiny black pearl
Long golden tresses in a wonderful swirl

Her father doted on her dearly
Cute eyelashes look longingly
And her whims satisfied instantly

Time passed, and a beautiful woman she became
Into her life, a handsome man came
The black pearl setting his heart aflame

But her father did not approve her choice
And locked her in the attic, cut her voice
Her golden tresses cupid blew, into her lover’s lap rejoice
