There was a man and a woman

 i

There was a man and a woman
Who sinned.

Then did the man heap the punishment
All upon the head of her,
And went away gaily.


ii

There was a man and a woman
Who 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 grief
That he is dead
And your opportunity gone;
For, in that, you were a coward.
