The Germans already knew a poem was a backup for the "code", so they'd probably figure that out too. Even if it worked it probably wouldn't accomplish much, and of course she'd be killed anyway. The only solution was the cyanide tablet, which all the spies apparently failed to use. I guess if you are fool enough to get yourself into such a situation you are going to be too foolish to get out of it.
