lirik lagu dylan thomas - a woman's history
when mary price was five years old
and had a bird that died
she laid its body under flowers
and called her friends to pray to god
and sing sad hymns for hours
when she, before her fifteenth year
was ruined by a man
the neighbors sought him out and said
“you’ll come along and marry her
or hang till you are dead.”
when they had found the child he wronged
and playing with her doll
“i’ll come along with you,” said she
“but i’ll not marry anyone
unless my doll’s with me.”
with no more love’s heat in her than
the wax upon her arm;
with no more love~light in her eyes
than in the glass eyes of her doll –
nor wonder, nor surprise
when mary price was thirty~five
and he was lying dead
she wept as though her heart would break:
but neighbours winked to see her tears
fall on a lover’s neck
now mary price is seventy~five
and skinning eels alive:
she, active, strong, and full of breath
has caught the cat that stole an eel
and beaten it to death
