The Crane Wife




And under the boughs unbowed

All clothed in the snowy shroud

She had no heart so hardened

All under the boughs unbowed


Each feather, it fell from skin

'Til thread bare while she grew thin

How were my eyes so blinded?

Each feather, it fell from skin


And I will hang my head

Hang my head low

And I will hang my head

Hang my head low


A gray sky, a bitter sting

A rain cloud, a crane on wing

All out behond horizon

A gray sky, a bitter sting
