The Widows of Ashur
Are loud in their wailing:
“No longer the‘ masher’
Sees Widows of Ashur!”
So each is a lasher
Of Man's smallest failing.
The Widows of Ashur
Are loud in their wailing.
The Cave of Adullam,
That home of reviling —
No wooing can gull‘ em
In Cave of Adullam.
No angel can lull‘ em
To cease their defiling
The Cave of Adullam,
That home of reviling.
At men they are cursing —
The Widows of Ashur;
Themselves, too, for nursing
The men they are cursing.
The praise they're rehearsing
Of every slasher
At men. They are cursing
The Widows of Ashur.
