Dead Man's Ball

"Come, join me
At the Dead Man's Ball
In my castle 'neath the sea",
Whispered the water nymph to me
And as I bent over the railing
To better hear and see,
I fell into the churning sea,
While sounds of an eerie voice
Came from the deep to me,
"Together, forever we shall be".

They found him
In a seaweed bed,
He looked content
But was quite dead.
