POEM 3:Ballad of a Mother's HeartJose La Villa TierraThe night was dark, for the moon was youngAnd the stars were asleep and rare:The clouds were thick, yet Youth went outTo see his Maiden fair."Dear One," he pleaded as he kneltBefore her feet, in tears,"My love is true, why have you keptMe waiting all these years?"The maiden looked at him unmoved,it seemed, and whispered low:"Persistent Youth, you have to proveBy deeds your love is true.""There's not a thing I would not doFor you, Beloved," said he."Then go," said she, "to your mother dearAnd bring her heart to me."Structure Elements of aPresentPoemNotFoundProofA.
