Charles the first of England
Walked through the
snow
Wrapped up against the
chill
So no shake would show
Parliament chose to
kill
The rightful king of
the land
An outrageous act at
Whitehall
Perpetrated by the
puritans
An axe man on the
scaffold
Executing him matter
of fact
The cold January snow
Almost purifying the
act
A dignified
monarch
Unwavering in his
belief
His daughter Princess
Elizabeth
Broken hearted died of
grief
“I do apologize” Cromwell said
To
King Charles the first, before
Having
him beheaded on the block
“Don’t
mention it” the King replied
“I
regret I’m the cause of this chore
Then
both men bowed to the other
But
it was after all, the Civil War
Charles the first of England
Walked
through the snow
Wrapped
up against the chill
So
no shake would show
Parliament
chose to kill
The
rightful king of the land
An
outrageous act at Whitehall
Perpetrated
by the puritans
An
axe man on the scaffold
Executing
him matter of fact
The
cold January snow
Almost
purifying the act
A
dignified monarch
Unwavering
in his belief
His
daughter Princess Elizabeth
Broken
hearted died of grief
