Amidst all the wars fought
Drenched in recondite thoughts,
Solace she sought
Only to find nought

'Smile and be merry', they said
But hey,
Do they even hark
When it's too dark?

Taken by fright,
Wondering what's right
It took all her might
When she dared to fight

Lo, and behold!
As the bright new scenes unfold
'A heart of gold,
And a woman so bold!'
