Cirumstance

circumstance found you dead
grey and alone in ignorance bliss
bloodless saint unwilling
circumstance found you there
being judged by him
compare a weight feather to brick
to comprehend a delicate trick
to subdue all stanzas
and perpetrate the refrain
a circumstance to end all
a flowing gown like in a ball
to stand so gracious and tall
to dare so to have the gall
to be found in this circumstance
