    Poem Commentary

    A longing for a freedom we can never know.

    A Long'ng


    A gypsy came singing into the night

    With a smile so warm it be not his wite

    That he touched my heart, and I touched his hand

    As me love went out to the gypsy man.


    Gypsies are roamers and gypsies are free

    I know he’ll not, long stay with me

    We will go our separate ways

    But I’ll ne’r  forget these gypsy days

     
    I’ll be marryin’ into gentry

    A Lady of Station will I be

    And if we ‘ere should meet again

    I’ll not be knowin’ me gypsy man

     
    For it be me geis of this I’m clear

    To serve me Lord and family dear

    For I was born without a choice

    I was born with out a voice.


    Yet I long to live the gypsy life

    To traverse at will, me Pict’s on fife.

    Gypsies are roamers and gypsies are free

    And that is what I’m long’ng to be.

    A wonderful poetic ballad complete with dialect to make the story even more romantic. Great write.

    In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it's the exact opposite.
