The Legacy

In circumstances unknown She left this world alone; Neath the fast flowing Ouse- Judge not nor accuse! This lovely wife of thirty-one Whose beauty does transfix and stun; Dying in circumstance unknown- Leaving Arthur bereft,alone! Heartbroken,distraught he searched In weather so bitter and cold; Until a final illness took hold-- A family tragedy,manifold! Orphan Lily wept alone, just five with no family home; The Great War now just begun- Her tiny world,undone! In circumstances unknown, Frances left this world alone; Her legacy lingered to expand- In the fair looks,of her daughters-grand!
