Marie

Oh what wonders I have seen
through tragic eyes of misty green.

Kings and Queens and Princes too,
whose bluest blood runs through and through.

Through these tear-filled eyes I've seen
a hooded man so strong and lean.

Looking up he stands so tall
above the boards and bloodied wall.

A headless body I have seen
just seconds passed the guillotine.
