Drowned Maid

Die

I 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
