This is a gothic-style poem |
| A noble queen lies on her white bed Her skin white and pale White like morning snow gone untread While, outside blows a deathly gale White sheets of Egyptian cotton Soft as deaths gentle touch Her forlorn eyes have forgotten The things she had once loved so much Sleeping queen aged so fair, embracing- eternity with all grace Radiating a cold serene air, lost as- A gentle breeze carresses your old face Proud queen, peaceful now and forever With lost daughters and sons You will meet them all together Beside other precious loved ones Tapastries float off whitewashed walls Lighted by lonely candles In the distance a trumpet calls Warding off deaths tactless vandals Queen, pale, in her white bed, embracing- Eternity with all your grace About you, blackly veiled faces, utterless tread Sweet queen dancing in death's solemn embrace |
