A lane a holiday home
A bloody slate and a block
A neglected murder scene
Down in west Cork
Twenty-five years
Nobody caught
Sophie Du Plantier
What happened that night?
Mysteries we love them
Essential elements
Foreign lady
French beauty
Red head and French scent
In night clothes and boots
In a place quite remote
Murdered at night
A cross marks the spot
What happened here?
By whom and why
Perhaps a confession
Before they die?
Sophie looks lovely
Vibrant alive
How vivid her photo
How happy her smile
How tragic this story
So lonely so sad
Oh let there be closure
Bring good to the bad
