AN: This is a sonnet that I wrote for English and naturally my first thought was to do it on the Tudor period. It is Queen Katherine of Aragon/ King Henry VIII. I know that on The Tudors Maria Doyle Kennedy has dark hair and eyes, but I am basing this on real life fact that Katherine of Aragon actually had blue eyes and auburn hair!
The title is based on something that Sir Thomas More said to Queen Katherine in The Tudors. Enjoy!
Thy eyes are as blue and clear as the sea.
Yet thou hair is fiery golden like the sun.
Though what I love in thee is endless
My heart does beat most strongly in my breast
When thy red lips against such pale skin
Part in expectance of an argument which…
Though I myself am a great and wealthy man.
I shall not win against thee, the Queen of Hearts.
Alas as time passes like the four seasons.
Thy Queen's beauty in my eyes begins to fade.
I see another, dark, as my Queen is fair.
An enchantress, my beloved, my life.
The Sun is forever now eclipsed.
A new age has begun, her time has passed.
But this fair and gracious Queen will still know.
That she is Queen of my heart, death do us part.
