In the year of 1900, in Bermondsey's darkened halls,
Lived a tale of sorrow, in those Guinness Buildings walls,
Richard Summers, once a sailor, once a firefighter bold,
Now stands accused of manslaughter, his story must be told.
It was on a fateful evening, as the clock struck one past midnight,
Richard, drunk and angry, brought forth a dreadful fight,
His daughter stood before him, a quarrel in their midst,
But fate had other plans that night, in shadows it did twist.
Diana Summers, a loyal wife, tried to calm the storm,
She stood between them, brave and true, her love in every form,
But as Richard aimed a mighty blow, his daughter to subdue,
It was Diana's fate to bear the pain, her life forever skewed.
She fell upon the sofa, with darkness in her eye,
The room filled with tension, as she let out a mournful cry,
Richard then retired, to the bedroom he did go,
Leaving Diana wounded, in agony and woe.
Morning came, but no relief, Diana's pain did grow,
Richard's daughter stayed by her side, concern began to show,
A friend arrived to tend her wounds, to soothe her battered face,
But little did they know that death had set its pace.
To Bermondsey Church they ventured, Diana seeming fine,
But darkness lurked beneath the surface, the clock began to chime,
By afternoon, she lay upon the kitchen floor,
And Richard, unaware of fate, was sleeping evermore.
As the evening shadows fell, Diana's voice grew weak,
She called out for a neighbor, her body feeling meek,
Sickness took her swiftly, as consciousness did fade,
And her life, forever altered, in the balance now swayed.
Doctors came and went, but there was no hope in sight,
Diana's days were numbered, her world was turning white,
Her eye was filled with agony, her head ached deep within,
A sober soul in turmoil, her life about to end.
Richard, once a sailor, a firefighter in his prime,
Now stands accused of manslaughter, for that fateful night of crime,
Though he was a troubled man, when liquor clouded his mind,
A jury's verdict found him guilty, his fate was not inclined.
In the end, six months' hard labor was the price he had to pay,
For a moment's lapse in judgment, when anger led the way,
But the ballad of Diana Summers, and the pain she had to bear,
Will forever echo in the shadows, a tragedy unfair.
