A DIAMOND SPEAKS by NORMAN ROWLAND GALE

First Line: HE WHO TORE ME FROM THE EARTH CHOKED
Last Line: HUDDLES IN THE RUBBISH AT THE BOTTOM OF THE MOAT.
Subject(s): REVENGE;

HE who tore me from the earth choked graveward in despair;
He who stabbed his mate for me, hemp got him by the throat!
She who paid with lovely limbs to buy me for her hair
Huddles in the rubbish at the bottom of the moat.
