The Devil weds a widow
Death another´s leftovers
Better to lie on a willows
Rest on alder boughs
Than upon a widow´s bed
On a used woman´s pillow
Sweeter the side of a fence
Than a widow´s flank
Softer the side of a groove
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
