Weighed down by grief, o’erborne by deep despair,She lifted up white arms to heaven and prayedThat day for death; she made a mighty prayerBeside her dear one gently to be laid.And standing thus, it flashed across her mindHow she must make a seemly silhouetteAgainst the sky, her figure sharply linedUpon the westering sunlight, black as jet.Smart SetRichard Burton

Weighed down by grief, o’erborne by deep despair,
She lifted up white arms to heaven and prayed
That day for death; she made a mighty prayer
Beside her dear one gently to be laid.
And standing thus, it flashed across her mindHow she must make a seemly silhouetteAgainst the sky, her figure sharply linedUpon the westering sunlight, black as jet.
And standing thus, it flashed across her mind
How she must make a seemly silhouette
Against the sky, her figure sharply lined
Upon the westering sunlight, black as jet.
