Charlotte's Elegy
Oh dearest Charlotte, bathed in morning light!
A spirit graceful as a swallow's flight
Through shadows deep, her laughter breaks the dawn
While joy unfolds beneath the sun's first spawn
Oh dearest Charlotte, with her radiant glow!
Her smiles like sunbeams dancing to and fro
Each gesture bright as stars that pierce the dark
While hearts she touches bear her golden mark
Oh dearest Charlotte, with her healing voice!
Her words make weary souls at last rejoice
Through whispered hopes that cleanse all guilt and pain
Yet in her silence, secrets still remain
Oh dearest Charlotte, where has your light gone!
Your voice once carried hope from dusk till dawn
Within you dwells the strength that others seek
Yet private sorrows make your spirit weak
Oh dearest Charlotte, faded from our sight!
Your absence fills our hearts with darkest night
The angel who brought warmth to souls distressed
Has sought her peace, by her own grief oppressed
Oh dearest Charlotte, lying still and cold!
No breath disturbs her form of gentle mold
Her quest for peace has reached its final peak
While one last teardrop graces her pale cheek
