'Ere to dream and to dream about the girl,
Darkened skin, and with eyes a thrilling slant.
Your lips red rubies, teeth like cultured pearls.
A fleeting look upon you did enchant.
Your laugh, like a symphony did delight
That long black hair gave you a certain class
Your long and slender neck did me excite,
You made me so giddy, like laughing gas,
In the dark shadows I stood and I saw,
You looked no different from days before,
From just a glance no one could see your flaws,
A cheating spouse when I went into war.
You killed my spirit and the man in me,
'Ere I take my life, you I had to see.
