A Sister Who Died Young

She was already her shadow Her pains had been many In her groans, death was sure Many her desires, less fulfilled. Her pains had been many The doctors were wrong Many her desires, less fulfilled In her voice, farewell bids The doctors were wrong Yet, at her death, a huge bill In her voice, farewell bids Our tears we couldn't hold back. Yet, at her death, a huge bill In her groans, death was sure Our tears we couldn't hold back She was already her shadow.
