From a forthcoming project
Far from where the believers pray
A mound of stone and soil lay.
Pilgrims pass and pay their respect
To the orphan girl who hanged her neck.
From Manaton strike for Bowerman’s Nose
Then over to where the Webburn flows.
Buried and staked where the roads are crossed
A banished soul forever lost.
Find fresh flowers at Four Cross Lane
Remembrance of the maidens' pain.
Pregnant and shamed she was cast away
The shallow grave of Kitty Jay.
