Persian Nightingale - Epilepsy

An ordinary boy
A simple girl
Had to wait a long time
To see each other

They worked hard
Day in and day out
After a loaf of bread rather

At long last
His mother sold her wedding band
A ceremony was performed
Simply
Very grand

The bride and groom posed for pictures
He kissed her forehead
Their glances exchanged
Hand in hand

After a short time
He lost consciousness
Shook
He left the world
No more demand
