Maria, such a beauty you were, sparkling eyes of blue and long brown hair. You were Russia's Angel, so delicate and fair. A dreamer you were little Mashka, which suited your big heart. You loved all those around you, and from your family you never would part. 21 steps down, and that sealed your fate. You didn't know what would happen, until it was too late. So dream Grand Duchess, that is what we pray. At peace in the arms of the Lord, is where you now stay.
