Nell Poem by Chris Embrick

In youth my life was all my own
But I was never meant to live alone
I married rich, I married well
Lord Devon's daughter, fairest Nell
Though ill advised the union wrong
I thought her for a time headstrong
But in time we learned to get along
Temptations have I often quelled
Alas, my heart belongs to Nell
While other loves have come and gone
Her love has kept my heart at home
Now here content I long to dwell
Still captivated by her spell
Alas, my heart belongs to Nell.
