Heartbroken, she now forever resigned 

For alas her sorrow had come to stay

No bells were tolling, no telling signs 

No hooting owl on that bitter cold day, 

When a fragile heart stopped and the world went grey

She walks at night praying to see his face in the pale moon

And looks for his brilliant eyes in the tempestuous sea,

But he’s not there she’s bereft, for he left gone all too soon

And she, once vibrant is now cursed to forever be

A specter of a woman haunted, yearning to be free
