Lady Jane, oh so young.
A life taken, a beautiful lady hung.
A Queen of just nine days.
Not long enough to bestow upon us her humanist ways.
Arrested and taken to the Tower.
By men and Lords of means and power.
Convicted of high treason.
Found guilty, religion given as the reason.
Sentenced to death, just seventeen.
The untimely death of the Nine Day Queen.

I love history, I wrote this a while ago after a visit to the Tower of London and seeing Ann Boleyns and Lady Jane Greys in the chapel was very emotional for me.
