One more unfortunate
Weary of breath
Rashly importunate
Gone to her death
Take her up tenderly
Lift her with care
Fashion'd so slenderly
Young, and so fair
Look at her garments
Clinging like cerements
Whilst the wave constantly
Drips from her clothing
Take her up instantly
Loving, not loathing
Touch her not scornfully
Think of her mournfully
Gently and humanly
Not of the stains of her
All that remains of her
Now is pure womanly
Make no deep scrutiny
Into her mutiny
Rash and undutiful
Past all dishonour
Death has left on her
Only the beautiful
Weary of breath
Rashly importunate
Gone to her death
Take her up tenderly
Lift her with care
Fashion'd so slenderly
Young, and so fair
Look at her garments
Clinging like cerements
Whilst the wave constantly
Drips from her clothing
Take her up instantly
Loving, not loathing
Touch her not scornfully
Think of her mournfully
Gently and humanly
Not of the stains of her
All that remains of her
Now is pure womanly
Make no deep scrutiny
Into her mutiny
Rash and undutiful
Past all dishonour
Death has left on her
Only the beautiful
