Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEF GHIH JKLK| And the just man trailed God's shining agent | A |
| over a black mountain in his giant track | B |
| while a restless voice kept harrying his woman | C |
| 'It's not too late you can still look back | B |
| - | |
| at the red towers of your native Sodom | D |
| the square where once you sang the spinning shed | E |
| at the empty windows set in the tall house | F |
| where sons and daughters blessed your marriage bed ' | - |
| A single glance a sudden dart of pain | G |
| stitching her eyes before she made a sound | H |
| Her body flaked into transparent salt | I |
| and her swift legs rooted to the ground | H |
| - | |
| Who will grieve for this woman Does she not seem | J |
| too insignificant for our concern | K |
| Yet in my heart I never will deny her | L |
| who suffered death because she chose to turn | K |
