Ashes to ashes...
Dust to dust...
To deny my love...
Twas so unjust...

You mistreated my gifts...
Like a dog’s old bone...
You forsook my attention...
You left me alone...

You escaped my advances...
You eluded my web...
You paid me no respect...
And now you are dead...

You disgraced my honor...
You made me fail...
And now you’ll forever wear...
Nature’s veil...
