Thread Name: Lyr Req: Harp Song of the Dane Women (R Kipling)
Subject: What is a woman that you forsake her
I'm looking for a complete lyric and source for the following fragment:

What is a woman that you forsaker her And the hearth fire and the homemaker To go with the old grey widow-maker

She has no arms for you to rest in But one cold bed for all to rest in ...??...

...or something like that. It might be titled "Lament of the Fisherman's Wife" or some such

Please reply via email to corrie@itasca.net

Many thanks!
