Poems and song lyrics some gothic some light and some about real people like William Plantagenet called Longpee (Long Sword), Edgar Alan Poe, and Lawrence of Arabia also in book my fictional gothic epic Vivienne and the Reaper. There was a knight called Long Sword There was a knight called Long Sword, He was all for the king and country. He was given to his love in spite of his cast, And so an Earl he became he had her by his side, He his brothers, the kings he supported with all his heart, For his people, he did his best to undo a war about to come, in that he endeavour he won, The enemy departed, A knight wanted his wife's hand, the knight, when he was at holy war returned, and told her Long Sword had died, the knight tried to woo her, but it didn't work the Earl returned proving the lie untrue, and the earl and his wife were happy, later he grew sick and died rumor later said by his rivals hand he had been poisoned, his body 200 years was removed from his tomb to be moved they said later with a companion in death a dead black rat to prove his murder.
