Beachy Head
Scrolling cliffs
In a dream
Ahead, by a few days
Then the message
She is dead
She is dead
Found the body
At Beachy Head
A gasping crowd
She readies to jump
Too soon! Too soon!
In the dream she leapt
A high diving board
A costume and cap
Scrolling cliffs
She hit the rock
With a pop
With a crack
A comical crack
A spray
On the rock
And a horror
In the stadium

Now silence and gasps
Now silence

She went to Beachy head
Where the chaplains tread
At the gates to where?
To jump
To jump
