The devils weds a widow
death another's leftovers
better to lie on a willows
rest on alder boughs
then upon a widow's bed
on a used woman's pillow
sweeter the side of a fence
then a widow's flank
Softer the side of a grove
than a widow's beside is
The devil weds a widow
the grave one twice wed
a widow's hand is rougher
than a dry spruce bough
with which she strikes the playful
grabs the one who laughs
a widow has had her games
and spent a merry evening
