Four sisters sitting in one house.
I said, these roses on a stem
With bosoms bare. But wayfaring
I went and ravished one of them

So one was taken. But the three.
They spread their petals just the same,
They turned no decent pale for grief,
They drew no fragrance back for shame

The canker is on roses too!
I cried, and lifted up the rod
And scourged them bleeding to the ground
All all are sinners unto God
