O Cruel!

Oh cruel! and I so young
What have I done that I should never again
See the sun riseout of the night
See the star come following on his track in the evening

That I may no more gather the flowers when the dew is heavy
Nor listen to the laughing of the waters

That I should never see my father again
Nor feel my mother's kiss
Nor care for the Lamb that is sick

That no lover should put his arm around me and look into my eyes
Nor shall men-childen be born of me

O Cruel! Cruel!! Cruel!!!

So so so sorry for their tragic loss paul. A very fitting poem of tribute to those who won't see the sun shine today. My heart goes out to all those people in their pain. Being a mother myself, I understand it is the cruelest of the cruelest things to happen. May their young souls rest in peace. Tai
