I went to wash at the shore
I went to bathe in the sea
And there I, a hen, was lost
I, a bird
Untimely died
Let not my brother
Ever in this world
Water his war-horse
Upon the seashore!
Waters of the sea
So much blood of mine
Fishes of the sea
So much flesh of mine
Such the d**h of the young maid
End of the fair little hen
