The Poetical Works of Ebenezer Elliott | ||
A COWARD'S BLOW.
The strong man smote his wife;
No help for her was nigh;
No strength had she, to fight for life:
She died, and he must die!
No help for her was nigh;
No strength had she, to fight for life:
She died, and he must die!
Sad is it to be weak,
And sadder to be wrong;
But if the strong God's statutes break,
'Tis saddest to be strong.
And sadder to be wrong;
But if the strong God's statutes break,
'Tis saddest to be strong.
