The Loveless Bride by Core from Raftsman's Journal
A poem depicts a bride who is unloved and remains cold to her groom. Over three years her beauty fades as rose-buds wind around her brow and flowers cover her lifeless chest. The couple lies in a quiet tomb as her life ends in tragedy yet finds peaceful rest.
