The little boy the girl now broached
Onto his form the maid encroached.
With footfalls quiet and careful placed
She slowly went though heart did race.

But sudden twig on ground did crack
Awaking boy from place he napped,
And up he rose turned his head
On little girl now filled with dread.

"Don't fear me friend I've come to play,
Inside the meadow former laid
Now mate I've found to help my games,
And further all my childish claims

I bid you join me friend in glade
So highest fun in midst is made."
And maid did slowly nod at boy
Now happy joining in on ploy.

So pair for whole of day did stay
In meadow deep on mount and play.
As sun did rise and start to fall
And soon the journey home did call.

So each did hug their friend and leave
Though thing their little hearts did grieve.
Then sudden bursting out from wood
A man with hoary beard was stood.

His jian was drawn above his head
And heart of little maid was dread.
So back she fell from angry face
In hopes the maid could flee this place.

But sudden out her father came
His saber drawn their clashing rang.
As both now stood with face of fire
That spoke of will so great and dire.

To side of each their clansmen come
With howl of war and beat of drum.
Then both to side they cast their eyes
On warring men of other side.

Then little maiden's father speaks
To bid them back from warring feat.
"Behold our heirs in danger stand
If either side a battle plans,

Or dares to act on violent thought
That raging hearts have surely wrought.
I bid we turn aside and leave
'Fore either man too great be grieved."

So foe did nod his head and rise
From fighting stance in which he lied.
Now quick did both from glade now fly
To save their heirs they knew would die

If war did break while still they stood
Without the cover give by wood...
