Emile Pinet Poet Quatrain

Notes About The Poem

The Gates of Hell

The Queen of fairies fell asleep
upon a bed of thistledown.
And didn't notice the hours creep
as she dreamt of a golden gown.

She was to meet the setting sun,
so she waited with bated breath.
For at dusk, they will merge as one
and together conquer death.

Darkness shrouds the sun as it dies,
draping the night in ebony.
But, she was too sleepy to rise,
and missed her date with destiny.

She woke to find there was no sun,
its light would never shine again.
And such things couldn't be undone,
despite her overwhelming pain.

She sent her magic to the sky,
but all the stars silently fell.
And alone, she began to cry,
like she'd opened the gates of Hell.
