Drowned Maid

DieI went to wash at the shore

I went to bathe in the sea

There I, a hen was lost

I, a bird, ultimately died

Waters of the sea

So much blood of mine

Fishes of the sea

So much flesh of mine

Let not my brother

Ever in this world

Water his warhorse

Upon the seashore

Waters of the sea

So much blood of mine

Fishes of the sea

So much flesh of mine

Let not my brother

Ever in this world

Water his warhorse

Upon the seashore

Such death of the young maid

End of the fair little hen

Let not my brother

Ever in this world

Water his warhorse

Upon the seashore

Waters of the sea

So much blood of mine

Fishes of the sea

So much flesh of mine
