i <br /> <br />There was a man and a woman <br />Who sinned. <br />Then did the man heap the punishment <br />All upon the head of her, <br />And went away gaily. <br /> <br />ii <br /> <br />There was a man and a woman <br />Who sinned. <br />And the man stood with her. <br />As upon her head, so upon his, <br />Fell blow and blow, <br />And all people screaming, "Fool!" <br />He was a brave heart. <br /> <br />iii <br /> <br />He was a brave heart. <br />Would you speak with him, friend? <br />Well, he is dead, <br />And there went your opportunity. <br />Let it be your grief <br />That he is dead <br />And your opportunity gone; <br />For, in that, you were a coward.<br /><br />Stephen Crane<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/there-was-a-man-and-a-woman/
