the wind howled like a wounded animal
cutting through the darkened night...
she stood on the hillside beneath a weathered oak
tree twisted and worn by time...
she kneeled by a cold marble stone aged by years,
spaned of decade's acoss a toremented soul and mind...
sooo... pitifully the girl wept, her pain ,her grief ,
echoing through the hills ,
of that cold lonley dark holler that wintery night ...
there along at his grave side ,
her tattered gown blowing in the wind...
down on her knee's she cryed out to him...
my darling dearest for years i have waited
in heartache and dispare and mourned for you love
no others could ever compare ....
i was but 16 on our wedding day ,standing there in the church
in await ,to be your bride ,when someone rushed inside
and said you lost your life ...
i never married ,i never courted another all throughmy life
though many good men asked for my hand to be their wife...
i never tasted the lips of another ,nor looked into anothers eyes
for you was the only man to hold this heart of mine...
you lost your life when a stray bullet from a jealous man guns
pierced your heart ,his wife was cheating with your brother
and shot the wrong man down ...
and after 60 years i'll be sleeping by your side .
she fell across his grave,drew her last breath and closed her eyes...
the moon shined brightly as two figures embrace again,
hand in hand they walked across that hillside
....as they long ago once did
