In a chapel a man stood beside
\nHis nervous and blushing bride
\n“I do till death” each to their vows replied
\nAnd soon to die, was he.<\/p>\n
For ten minutes, as man and wife in the cell
\nThey lived… with prison guard as well
\nWho loudly out the decreasing minutes did tell
\nWhen taken from the condemned the bride was to be.<\/p>\n
And outside the gates on the street she waited
\nTearful and prayerful with breath abaited
\nA volley of shots sounded out loud, which stated
\nThat a widow now, was she.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
