A girl I know just out of her teens
not a real beauty but a smart kid
not very fair but wheatish in complexion
blessed with a pretty smile
Intelligence being her forte
Pleasant being her charm
spread radiance all round
making her mother happy
bringing fame to her father
a duty bound in law
a loving wife to her husband
and a doting mother
on the whole a damsel great
died a few hours ago
being not a natural death
but an accident gruesome
shattering her head
and plucking her little daughter
she breathed her last
as she being always in a hurry
got married early
gained motherhood early still
and left the world also early
with a hasten and movement fast
leaving her poor mother stunned and shaken
releasing a grief and a loss irreparable.
