This, no ballad of innocence
This, the rhyme of a lady who

Daubed with ashes of myriad Lents
Wearing shower bouquets of rue

Through God's acres of memory

Ever a prey to coincidence

Always knew I the consequence
Always saw what the end would be

I loved them 'til they loved me

I loved them 'til they loved me

This, no song of ingenue
This, no ballad of innocence
This, the rhyme of a lady who
