A PEEP BEHIND THE SCENES 
 
Written By a student at King’s College Hospital 
 
IN the hospital bed she lay, 
Rotting away ! 
Cursing by night and cursing by day, 
Rotting away ! 
The lupus is over her face and head, 
Filthy and foul and horrid and dread, 
And her shrieks they would almost wake the dead ; 
Rotting away ! 
 
In her horrible grave she lay, 
Rotting away ! 
Rotting by night, and rotting by day, 
Rotting away ! 
In the place of her face is a gory hole, 
And the worms are gnawing the tissues foul, 
And the devil is gloating over her soul, 
Rotting away !
