Countess Elizabeth Báthory of Ecsed (info at Wikipedia)
A vampire’s shrine
with tall candles lit
each trembling shadow’s flame
is pierced.
She stands in her temple,
weaving vows
one long song
for a full moon’s glare
strangling the tranquil air.
…Quiet …Be still.
Here where blood is life;
here her life’s prolonged.
