Rosa: Were you so blind? You could not see? I killed him, yes! And it was wonderful to do, I do confess! To have him done, to do him in, to see it through… You surely know by now I meant to murder you! Thought you I was so blind As not to know your mind: Of what intent each compliment you claimed you meant as kind. To feel myself unrobed and probed With every movement of your eyes— Oh, but realize! A child can go quite mad, And not know good from bad And calmly plan to kill a man, and feel but only glad. To rid herself, to bid herself a murderous goodbye— Not Edwin who I sought, but you! I meant for you to die! But the night was far from bright, Thick with wet and thunder. Thatching fell, dispatched from hell, Is it yet a wonder? Could not see the arms of me Stretched out with scarf in hand. Saw your coat and tied Ned’s throat Just like a deadly wedding band… So long a time They’ve thought That I’m a Dresden doll, Quite naïve, But I believe This pain, my brain, More tortured than they might conceive! With these late additions, I have now revealed Murderous admissions Hitherto concealed— Damn you all, I say, You let him drive me mad! Madness led to this; No good can come from bad! No good, no good can come from bad! [Thanks to ayankes@andover.edu for lyrics] Back to main page: Mystery Of Edwin Drood, The Lyrics
