A Predicament

What chance, fair lady hath bereft you thus

Thy grace is gone, stolen- the fiend?

Your smile hath gloom replaced

And now, your hopes into thin air, ascend


I shall not suffer thee to take heart

Weep now, wail now,withhold not thy tears

Let your grief get to the whole of you

As well, share your sorrow with any that cares

 
For the bell tolls for everyone

Today it has bellowed above thy hold

Tomorrow, it must toll on another

Perhaps, I may be caught out in the cold


Let your grief get to the whole of you

Today you weep and tomorrow, I may weep too.
