Fränz Müller

Cheater

Through frozen gates with rusted lock

A sulking skel’ in mouldring frock

Just sits, a grim and ghastly shade

Who got what he, when dying, bade:

His soul and body bound through death!

Though e’er starved for God’s sweet breath

All fury, in futility, insect kissed

The black attraction in the cemetery mist.
