Sense Sonnet - Acher

 Thisbe and Pyramus

Thisbe and Pyramus did be

Young lovers who were kept apart.

Through a wall did plan she and he

A secret meeting of the heart.

Thisbe arrives first but from fear

Does run away leaving her cloak

Which, when Pyramus does appear,

Seems to show Thisbe's blood in soak.

Thinking her dead, Pyramus grabs

His sword and plunges in his chest.

Thisbe then finds him dead and stabs

The sword into her, both now rest.

The wall between them now is gone.

Thisbe and Pyramus love on.
