Becoming of the Banshee

There was a beautiful girl Who had the whole world at her feet But then she did meet The man of her dreams He was as kind and gentle as he seemed Very soon they were married The couple beamed They were so happy She called his family her own That's how close they had grown Man and wife bought a house They soon called home But fate, as it is known Has ways of rearing its ugly head And it seems that these two Were due their share Of bad luck The husband was struck down With a terrible illness And soon he was dead As she sat by his bed The girl was filled with dread Her husband was gone but There was so much left unsaid As the girl wept Something inside her crept And suddenly she let out an inhumane howl A noise that most people would call fowl The nurse who looked after her husband scowled in disapproval And sent for immediate removal The girl soon died of a broken heart But that wasn't the end It was just the start She loved his family with all her heart So after she died She would cry and wail Without fail For any member who passed away And she is still with that family to this very day For she was the very first banshee
