Removing the blanket off her body, and at first
Let her warmth be nursed!

How she lies in the arms of a man,
Life has done all life can.
As God absorbs the new life in peace,
He recks not, a masterpiece.
Nor does she have flaws, or vengeance; both alike
Oh how lifelike,
She is lost in solemn, quite strange
Surprised to her new life in vain.
Ha, what avails death to erase
Her life, was not a disgrace.
She was young, a girl on her own
In the field, by the fold:
Her courage, God’s embrace, man’s scorn
A new life reborn!

She now stands, lying in the ground:
Missing her embrace!

We did "look alike" poems and we had to take a poem from a famous poet and write a poem that looked like on of theirs.
