The blaze crackles!
The
unrestrained crowd
Runs
to that fire
happy
in appearance;
shouts
of joy
echo
all around:
Surrounded
by henchmen
A
woman approaches!
Menacingly
shines
On
those horrible faces
That
gloomy flame
That
reaches to the heavens!
The
blaze crackles!
Here
comes the victim,
Dressed
in black,
Dishevelled
and barefoot!
A
fierce shout
Of
death arises.
The
echo repeats
From
cliff to cliff!
Menacingly
shines
On
those horrible faces
That
gloomy flame
That
reaches to the heavens!
