My not only is this poem beautiful, but the story is a true love tale. I too, couldn't get through your link, but found information on the link Eric provided.
Ron, you've captured the depth of their love and the idealism of letting go of such power, authority and adoration for this love. I quite enjoyed this, Ron and I thank you for sharing this story. I hadn't ever heard it before.
I love reading your work and always look forward to the beauty in your poetry.

http://www.lyricstime.com/lyrics/31909.htmlLove, it is love alone,
Poor King Edward will leave the throne.
It is love, love, love, love alone
Poor King Edward will leave the throne.
It was early December when said by he,
He'll cede his throne to the new King "G'.
It is love, love, love, love alone,
Poor King Edward will leave the throne.
King Edward is nobel, King Edward is Great.
It is love causing him to abdicate.
It is love, love, love, love alone,
Poor King Edward will leave the throne.
He'll say he is sorry that regal he's not,
He'll fail to fulfill it, he'll seek his spot.
It is love, love, love, love alone ,
Poor King Edward will leave the throne.
Take his title and take his fame,
Take away his kingdom's name.
It is love, love, love, love alone
Poor King Edward will leave his throne.
You can take his wealth, you can close his door,
Just give him that lady from Baltimore.
It is love, love, love, love alone,
Poor King Edward must leave his throne.
Who know's what is in Simpson's vault
To cause the King to somersault?
It is love, love, love, love alone,
Poor King Edward will leave his throne.
In early December in thirty-six
The Duke of Windsor will get his kicks!
It is love, love, love, love alone,
Poor King Edward will leave the throne.
