It's cold and unmoving, no sign of a past Can one deduce, or of the pulse that bound it Ties broken with all endless earthly affairs It knows not that soon kindly earth will surround it An image of an answer to the question of justice So cold and unmoving: Her neck, and the noose around it
Her feet in the air, as if to be fleeing Her gaze seems to stare through the thick veil of time Her lips turned to stone, she has no more to say They hanged her, but could not say much for her crime The men who play God but the devil become The men: Whose very souls are encrusted with grime
A rose in the rain, a sylph born of light Returning to peace and becoming the sleeper A gleam on her face from a source never seen: The blade of her keeper- the scythe of the reaper The night will be cold, but the day will be colder Her grave: It will be deep, but innocence's deeper
