The Village Wife's Lament

The Village Wife's Lament is a Fiction Story Book. This book says that O what is this you've done to me, Or what have I done, That bare should be our fair roof tree, And I all alone? 'Tis worse than widow I become More than desolate, To face a worse than empty home Without child or mate. 'Twas not my strife askt him his life When it was but begun, Nor mine, I was a new made wife And now I am none; Nor mine that many a sapless ghost Wails in sorrow fare But this does cost my pride the most, That bloodshedding to share.
