In the dark and shabby room, lies a picture
The portrait of a beautiful girl
Signed by the anonymous
There lay the picture for years

Her fair glow lighted the room
The perfect dame for every groom
She seemed to have been waiting
Was it her end or a new beginning?

The white gown was sparkling
The moon lighted the gathering
Even though it was finally happening
She looked more like in mourning

That perfect beautiful dress
Yet her face failed to impress
The drops from her eyes
Clearly reflected her cries
The picture of a beautiful girl
Alas! A scene always to remember
Behind in a small corner rested him
Silently, peacefully in a black coffin**
