SPECIFICATION, by                    
First Line: I'll never wed a woman
Last Line: Her hands when the rain comes down.
Subject(s): Flowers; Marriage; Rain; Wombats; Weddings; Husbands; Wives


I'll never wed a woman
Who would be lovelier
Than the blueberry bloom and the heather flower
That the earth lifts up to her.

She must be swift in meeting
A wind that sings from the sea,
And her words shall be like a dryad's words
In telling of it to me.

Though the bread should burn in the oven
And the needle rust in the gown,
I'll wed no woman who would not cup
Her hands when the rain comes down.
