La Baroque

She was a maiden

of good honour

but never amused

Always stayed

in her doomed manor

with nothing to do

-Lulli lullay-

sang the maiden

to her flowered vase

Languished lament

fading

from her bowel away

She was a maiden

of good manners

but never aloof

Always prayed

for her amor

to come back well soon

-Lulli lullay-

kept singing the maiden

to her unbloomed faith

Languished lament

vanishing

to her unheard fate

.

Queen of Baroque

This

how we call her

drenched

in her doom

so unfair

danced

'til her feet

could not bare

blessed

for in her life

she despaired

.
