Beneath that arch of roses Beatrice sat and how she sighed

She was tired and she was lonely even though she soon was to become a bride!

Her Sweetheart he had left her by those pillars on the lawn

He had galloped out into the moonlight saying "I will return before the dawn!"

She opened up her journal and began to read the words therein

And she shed a tear remembering how her first love did begin!

But before the night-time it was over, a knock came loudly to her door

They said her sweetheart he lay dying so she would see her love no more!

So tonight beneath that arch of roses Beatrice sat and how she sighed

As she penned her final moments and the reasons why she died!
