Lady St. Claire

Long, long ago, in the Chinese dynasty,

a prince had died without requiem and buried poorly.

The last heir to the throne.

Something must be done.

-

Desperate to save his kingdom,

the emperor called all maidens to come,

to wed with him and bore his son

to save his fallen generation.

-

All maidens came and left.

But there’s one that cut out from all the rest.

The lady St. Claire, a name so sweet.

She speaks of grace and loved so deep.

-

The ruler declared his wife

and gave her his life.

They loved so true and passionate

and deep and all so velvet.

-

No ladies far and wide, and sweet and fair

could win his love for his mistress, sweet St. Claire.
