First Line: Lips too red / hair like a crow's wing
Last Line: Gone to god.
Subject(s): Red (color)
Lips too red;
Hair like a crow's wing.
She is dead;
I will pray no more!
I will not implore
Unto God
For that which I hid
Under sod.
When the fire is cold,
Ashes, left.
Flame, they could not hold,
Gone to God.
