A poem about the death of a woman, at the hands of a lecherous man, who wants her daughter
Now, there was a man named William Wurth
A student from the school, South County, Perth
Eager was he; to share his knowledge new
Up to the market, his wagon drew

His eyes behind spectacles, and face full of glee
Drew children to him for all to see
He told them of magick and shewed demonstration
Their roaring of laughter caused great jubilation

One child, however, did catch his queer eye
A girl of age ten, a girl who was shy
Her hair silky and blonde and eyes of bright blue
His heart full of lust and his thoughts, taboo

Now with dark purpose, her parents to find
To seek them an offer, to shape the child's mind
The mother he found, the father had died
Sara her name, but to him, his bride

His new relationship, long nurture he must
For want of young Corram, need garner their trust
Spent him one year, teaching the girl
Long nights spent he devising, a plot to unfurl

Finally the day came, for his plan to achieve fruition
A dagger for Sara, for Corram, perdition
Now Sara lie in such heinous a manner
Her spirit now trapped, within the halls of her manor

Wailing now heard from up on that hill
Both a great cry of pain and a call to kill
The head of William, for the Banshee to cope
But the daughter's Salvation, for the Mother to hope
