The poem is taken from the back of a business card advertising a Haunted Tour of Savannah.

The poem reads:
There's an old, old legend, that's whispered by
southern folks about the lacy Spanish moss
that garlands the great oaks:
A lovely princess and her love, upon their
wedding day, were struck down by a savage
foe amidst a bitter fray;
United in death they were buried, so the
legends go -
'Neath an oak's strong, friendly arms,
protected from their foe;
There, as was the custom, they cut the bride's
long hair with love and hung its shining
blackness on the spreading oak above;
Untouched, undisturbed it hung there, for all
the world to see and with years the locks
turned gray and spread from tree to tree.
