Ordinary and plain
I am a stranger
An Eyre and a Jane
A lowly ranger
A wanderer of the moors
Deserts and detours
Fog and mist
Shadows reminisce
Of youth's kiss
Pure bliss
Bury hope and dream's stain
Thrashed grain
Golden harvest hidden pain
Engraved stones and steeple rise from the prairie
Tears tarry
Homely and alone
A scarlet letter sewn
On my own
Eponine's hymn and curse
Silently plays my verse
Weary and worn
The lady on the moor
