There was a man and a woman
i
There was a man and a womanWho sinned.Then did the man heap the punishmentAll upon the head of her,And went away gaily.
ii
There was a man and a womanWho sinned.And the man stood with her.As upon her head, so upon his,Fell blow and blow,And all people screaming, "Fool!"He was a brave heart.
iii
He was a brave heart.Would you speak with him, friend?Well, he is dead,And there went your opportunity.Let it be your griefThat he is deadAnd your opportunity gone;For, in that, you were a coward.
