Run to Death - A Grim Story, Written by a Tenager

This poem was written by Amy when she was a tenager. It's subtitled 'Run to death' and is based on an incident of pre revolutionary french history. The last lines describe the huntsmen riding in silent shame back to the manor house, where they then tell the ladies there what a qute, famous hunt they have had that day. This poem wasn't published until three years after it was written, when victoria magazine picked it up.
