    “The Devil’s Book” by Ava Hitter (Villanelle)

     

         The Devil’s Book

         There she goes, far off an away

        To a land that leaves no warmth upon her cheek

        In a world of full of sorrow and all that is grey

     

                Once in a world of light she lived, never suffering a sorrowful day

                Though due to her deeds and wicked schemes, her life is now bleak

            There she goes, far off an away

     

                 To a land underneath the dirt and decay,

                Beneath the tomb and beneath the grave, where she will never creak 

            In a world of full of sorrow and all that is grey

     

                   Now there she lives, so fully betrayed

                              By what she thought was a good bargain made

                      There she goes, far off an away 

     

                           So there near the dust and bones she is today

                      Now so timid and meek

                        In a world of full of sorrow and all that is grey

     

                 So once she sat near that pretty old bay

                     Once so strong and now so weak

                       There she goes, far off an away

                                 In a world of full of sorrow and all that is grey
