Her forehead hints no mental strife:

Soft and calm her breast heaves:

So calmly, with his cobbling knife

She stabbed him through ... now never grieves.

Baffled, aghast with hate, mouse-poor,

He glares and clatters the brass knob ...

Through his heart it slid sure:

He bowed, he died with never a sob,

Again she stabbed, now sits secure.

Praying as she has always prayed
