Death in the Seine

It must be hard for the river Seine

To preside over unions and heartbreaks.

How many unions ended happily?

How many vows have been kept?

Even a serene Seine could not quell her sorrows.

It must be hard for a young girl's heart

To endure the pain of heartbreak.

How cruel it is to betray her innocence

And break the vow made at the Seine.

All she could do is to find peace in the river,

Sowing regrets in her betrayer's heart.

May she rest well in the other world.
