The Legacy
In circumstances unknown
She left this world alone;
Neath the fast flowing Ouse-
Judge not nor accuse!
This lovely wife of thirty-one
Whose beauty does transfix and stun;
Dying in circumstance unknown-
Leaving Arthur bereft,alone!
Heartbroken,distraught he searched
In weather so bitter and cold;
Until a final illness took hold--
A family tragedy,manifold!
Orphan Lily wept alone,
just five with no family home;
The Great War now just begun-
Her tiny world,undone!
In circumstances unknown,
Frances left this world alone;
Her legacy lingered to expand-
In the fair looks,of her daughters-grand!
