CHARLES THE MARTYR

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
