Eve

I am Eve, great Adam's wife,I that wrought my children's loss,I that wronged Jesus of life,Mine by right had been the cross.

I a kingly house forsook,Ill my choice and my disgrace,Ill the counsel that I tookWithering me and all my race.

I that brought winter inAnd the windy glistening sky,I that brought sorrow and sin,Hell and pain and terror, I.
