One for sorrow is the mother
Alone under the hill.
Two for joy - a girl or boy -
Whatever shall be shall be.
Sorrow is outliving youth:
Children's bodies still.
Truth be told too great to hold
Whatever we lose we gain.
But for the mother left alone
Far underneath the hill,
Only breath, a wish for death,
And whatever we see we see.
