Nice progressions through the each line, correspondingly, between each stanza--especially, the last lines going from "creation" (of love), to "chance" (of a fiary tale ending), to the "ever after" (the creation and chance have culminated in a lasting love). Like this one very much.
(This is quite inconsequential, but in looking at the pairing of feet in the third and fourth lines of each stanza, each line has three feet even though "meshed" and "renowned" would appear to make those lines four feet--might they be changed to "mesh'd" and "renown'd" to denote that they should each be read as one foot and two feet respectively?--like I said, it's quite inconsequential as the two words do read as one foot less than they appear. Sorry for being so technical.) J.
