What crimes produce such punishment
inside these stately walls?
It seems as though my heart were lent
to all the tortured calls.
The pain does seem a flitting bird,
the screams are but its song.
The nightly flail is seldom heard
'though many hours long.
But I am just a visitor
or so my mask proclaims;
in fact I am a prisoner
with all an inmate's shames.
This structure's not, in truth, a jail
but many are detained;
for love, without a brick or nail,
still holds all bound and chained.
