Lolly is shy and hides her eyes.
She dances in the night.
Her voice a flute, high and sweet,
Her lips red and ripe.
Her golden locks trapped in a braid,
But her hands reach for the sun.
She doesn't speak, she doesn't weep,
Merely looking and listening.
Her eyes see all, like the fall,
But frozen is her heart.
She can't feel the pain inside,
Or the knives in her back.
As she falls, there is no sound.
But the proud Varnack lowers himself
And sweeps her up into his tender embrace.
He tends her wounds,
Her blood stains his clothes,
But he could care less.
"How could they treat you so,
My little darling girl?
Why do they stab you and jab you?
You never said a word!"
Varnack cried as Lolly died,
Then his tears took him to her.
