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
