Lady of the Biddick House
Paige Temperley
Lady of the Biddick House had her little heart ripped out
Love forbidden, so profound, she was upstairs he was down
You see, it can’t be, if there status in-between
But believe, she’d a need for a man with thumbs of green
Lady of the Biddick House, slow and surely she snuck out
Love forbidden, so profound, only rose bushes surrounded
Them as they fell, deeper under true loves spell
In society’s cell he was the Beast and she was Belle
A story she knew all too well
Wouldn’t let it die with them
Lady of the Biddick House decided to stick around
Holding onto love once found, she would show them ‘not allowed’
Obsess and digress, trapped in a lifetime’s distress
Many centuries guest, draws a spirit of unrest
Lady of the Biddick House learned her home would be knocked down
Mr Ferry’s garden now, must make way for a new town
The roses he grew, with his hands he would remove
But the Lady refused, threw them back to what she knew
Lady of the Biddick House, heart forever bleeding out…
