The Opposing Sex + 

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. + 
