Embers unfading glow.
Long sought,
seldom found.
Here I will abide.
Recumbent, but unwilting.
I will stay.
Immortal though I may seem
my sanguine tears,
still fall.
On the unforgiving ground.
Find my parts, if you can.
Then give me my true name.
Answer - Amaranthus caudatus

Sonnet Clue
If you solve this clue it will give you all the parts of the original riddle.
Lo! Love's Labours Won may still be found!
And yet I wonder, if it should be so.
Its rumour has shown murderers abound!
Alas, this casts a shadow rife with woe,
O'er the school's young and happy boys.
If only the professor here to speak,
Can see through all the masks and all the ploys.
Otherwise I do fear the task looks bleak.
Working with the police to find the men,
Surely the manuscript must come to light.
I do so hope our dear Professor Fen,
Can solve this mystery o'er one full night.
And so good Riddler, if you find the plot,
To solve the riddle you will have a shot.
