Immaculate Valentine

When they could see
That your resolve was sealed
That you were really leaving them
 
When they gathered around the gate
And watched you enter
That fragile body
 
When the lights were dimmed
In all their houses
And the dogs asleep
 
When a dark chill fell
From heaven when the earth
Took up its will
 
To go on living I recall
How much depended
On a loving girl
