Literature Text

A man of bone,

With no place of home,

Don't ask for time,

It will but aggrevate his rhyme.

 

'The hangman's song',

As you are marched to the gallows,

You thought you had long,

Why so shallow?.

 

Walk the paved way,

Slabbed stone of the dead,

Turn eyes away,

From aqueducts flowing red.

 

Blood running from the gallows,

Into the once pristine narrows,

What's to come?,

What will you see?.

 

You approach,

It feels like a horrible dream,

No reproach,

There is the guillotine.

 

A pile of mutilated bodies,

Leave the stench you soon will make,

The hangman does this as a hobby,

Are you ready for bones to break?.
