Juliana Hall - I died for beauty
Adjusted in the tomb
When one who died for truth was lain
In an adjoining room
He questioned softly why I failed?
“For beauty,” I replied
“And I for truth,ꟷthe two are one;
We brethren are,” he said
And so, as kinsmen met a night
We talked between the rooms
Until the moss had reached our lips
And covered up our names
