The burnt bread Hardened like stone Discovered by me Only through hints By you Had you declared The crime Straight out Or had given One small Pretended Well-disguised feeling Of your remorse The saga of the Burnt bread Would be ended.

The Saga of the Burnt Bread
The burnt bread
Hardened like stone
Discovered by me
Only through hints
By you
Had you declared
The crime
Straight out
Or had given
One small
Pretended
Well-disguised feeling
Of your remorse
The saga of the
Burnt bread
Would be ended.
