Banshee Crow

At first I thought it was the gales That howled into the night, But then the banshee's keening wails Broke all the glass in sight I hopped from bed up to the sill To see what I could see I saw a crow upon the hill A dark monstrosity My throat closed up; I couldn't breathe I thought that I would die But it flew out towards the sea - Across the moonlit sky But then the worry came again Which nobel love would die? Me, M’Lady,M’Lord, and when? Which one did Death espy? I bit my nails; I cracked my wrists The fear was like a wrench It smashed into my heart like fists, And kept me in suspense It was three days of agony Till I found out M’Lord had died - My sailor son in Tripoli, Was killed in cannon fight I guess I don't get WHY the crow Gave his warning to me Why screech of death at my window, Instead of Tripoli? Instead of Tripoli? (Besides being a woman, the banshee can take the form of animals, such as the crow) Received 1st place in "Creepy Irish Creatures" contest
