Ophelia embraced by a swaddling divine
Within folds cradled beauty sublime
In hues of lambent blue, gray and white
Is seen the grace of spirit, a questing light
Hers be a fate, a story fraught with pain
Love and loss, loss and love bear her name
Each shed tear now aflow in waters be
Her spirit and beauty cresting in waves of the sea.
