Legend of the Spanish Moss

There is an old, old legend, that's whispered by Southern folks,
About the lacy Spanish moss that garlands the great oaks-
A lovely princess and her love, upon their wedding day,
Were struck-down by a savage foe amidst a bitter fray:
United in death they were buried, so legends go-
'Neath an oak's strong, friendly arms, protected from their foe;
There, as was the custom, they cut the bride's long hair with love
And hung its shining blackness on the spreading oak above;
Untouched, undisturbed it hung there, for all the world to see
And with the years the locks turned gray and spread from tree to tree.

I didn't know about this legend, though I've traveled the South many times and always admired the Spanish Moss on the trees. Well done, a great shot.
