The first time I heard Paul Stookey's "The Wedding Song," this couplet stood out like a sore thumb for me and kind of ruined the whole song:

"As it was in the beginning, is now unto the end,
Woman draws her life from man and gives it back again."

The line made me think of the one version (of two) in Genesis of the creation of humans, in which Eve is taken from Adam's rib.

Later on, I realized it can be interpreted differently.   He could just as easily have said it the other way around, but it wouldn't have scanned as well. It's an ongoing circle of reciprocity (codependence?).

Still, I think that line is the weakest part of the song.
