Rhyme Scheme: AABCCDEFBGHAIJKALJM| There season | A |
| A century old tradition | A |
| Has taken toll on them | B |
| Deprived them of their pride and privacy | C |
| Though conducted in secrecy | C |
| In the chilling wee hours of the day | D |
| The moment of pain and distress | E |
| Transforms them to fit | F |
| Into a society so unfair to them | B |
| Their cries are swallowed | G |
| By the inconsiderate wolves | H |
| Determined to support an archaic tradition | A |
| While they fight back | I |

| And legs held apart | K |
| By friendly old women | A |
| who clinically execute the act | L |
| Giving spirits a share of the girls' blood | J |
| To seal forbidden covenant | M |
