The gallows trembled by Sivasagar

This night
the scaffold trembled violently
Hearing the progress report of mankind
spoken proudly by the hanging head
This night
the gallows trembled in fear
Seeing the soft unbroken smile
on the lips of the hanging head

This night
the hanging head
hanged the noose
