The Late Pearl Attaway - Austin Wintory

Dear loving friend

Sorry to inform

I will miss our rendezvous

I have been detained

For I am lying dead

On the tiles of Waterloo

Halt the horses!

Still the wheels

I shall move no more today!

Fondest regards

Sincere apologies

From the late Pearl Attaway!

Broken doll

Open eyes

Silent lips of blue

Tangled hair

Bed of blood

On the tiles of Waterloo

Halt the horses!

Still the wheels!

And await this cruel delay!

I am undone

A sudden blade has come

For the late Pearl Attaway!

Halt the horses!

Still the wheels, and await a better day!

Lo!

I depart

For a brighter destination

Yours in hope, Pearl Attaway
