Here is the secret of the death of ElenorA
From what I learn of her from what I knowB
In living knowing women I am clearA
About this Elenor Murray Give me powerA
To get the letters power to give a bondC
To indemnify the company for you knowB
Letters belong to him who writes the lettersD
And if the company is given bondC
It will surrender them and then you'll knowB
What man she loved this Gregory Wenner orA
Some other man and if some other manE
Whether he caused her deathF
-
The coronerA
And Loveridge Chase sat in the coroner's officeG
And talked the matter over And the coronerA
Who knew this Loveridge Chase was wonderingH
Why Loveridge Chase had taken up the workI
Of secret service followed it and askedJ
How did you come to give your brains to thisK
Who could do other things And Loveridge saidL
A woman made me I went round the worldM
As jackie once was brought into this worldM
By a mother good and wise but took from herA
My father someone sense of chivalryA
Too noble for this world a pity tooN
Abused too much by women I came backO
Was hired in a bank had I gone onP
By this time had been up in banking circlesQ
But something happened You can guess I thinkR
It was a woman was my wife LeoneS
It matters nothing here except I knewN
This Elenor Murray through my wife These twoN
Were schoolmates even chums I'll get these lettersD
If you commission me The fact is thisK
I think this Elenor Murray and LeoneS
Were kindred spirits and it does me goodT
Now that I'm living thus without a wifeU
To ferret out this matter of Elenor MurrayA
Perhaps this way or somewhere on the wayV
Find news of my Leone what life she livesW
And where she is I'm curious still you seeA
Then Coroner Merival who had not heardX
Of Elenor Murray's letters in New YorkY
Before this talk of Loveridge Chase who heardX
This story and analysis of LeoneS
Mixed in with other talk and got a lightZ
On Elenor Murray said I know your workI
Know you as well have confidence in youN
Make ready to go and bring the letters backO
-
And on the day that Loveridge Chase departsA2
To get the letters in New York BernardB2
A veteran of Belleau married that dayV
To Amy Whidden on a lofty duneC2
At Millers Indiana with his brideD2
Long quiet tells her something of the warA
These soldiers cannot speak what they have livedE2
But Elenor Murray helps him for the talkF2
Of Elenor Murray runs the rounds so manyA
Stations whence the talk is sent the menG2
Or women who had known her came in touchH2
Somehow with her These newly wedded twoN
Go out to see blue water yellow sandI2
And watch the white caps pat the sky and hearA
The intermittent whispers of the wavesJ2
And here Bernard the soldier tells his brideD2
Of Elenor Murray and their days at NiceK2
