Analysis of Zamunda
She sat atop her fathers shoulders
Her hair a beaded crown for others
To hold her in the highest renound
Sweet awe, she lived in a little town
While on her face a noble frown
Her eyes like a noon that would astound
I imagined her as Cleopatra fully grown
Offering her loving husband a vow
A true love for only him to own.
