Beneath Verona's starlit skies,

Where love’s eternal promise lies,

Two hearts entwined, both fierce and true,

A bond that neither fate could undo.

Romeo, with passion bright,

A lover swayed by moonlit night,

In Juliet’s eyes, he found his home,

A world beyond where shadows roam.

Their love, like roses in full bloom,

Defied the hatred, pierced the gloom,

Yet tethered by their family names,

The fire of love gave way to flames.

Oh, sweet Juliet, tender, brave,

Her heart now echoes in the grave,

But not in vain, their souls ascend—

For in their death, the feud would end.

O, star-crossed lovers, though you fall,

Your love has conquered after all.

Through whispered winds and twilight’s hue,

The world remembers love like you.
