“That Man” (Song)

By Athena Stairs, October 25, 2025

That man loves me
For once it’s real

That man loves me
With a heart of steel

You never know they’d say
With a jeer unconcealed

But that man’s worth
Is beyond repeal

And if you say
We haven’t got a chance

If you’d argue
Our circumstance

Well then friends you
Haven’t learned a thing

Of what makes a woman Queen
And a Man her King

—

Elden sass upon verdant grass melodies
