I am Eve, great Adam's wife, <br />I that wrought my children's loss, <br />I that wronged Jesus of life, <br />Mine by right had been the cross. <br /> <br />I a kingly house forsook, <br />Ill my choice and my disgrace, <br />Ill the counsel that I took <br />Withering me and all my race. <br /> <br />I that brought winter in <br />And the windy glistening sky, <br />I that brought sorrow and sin, <br />Hell and pain and terror, I.<br /><br />Thomas MacDonagh<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/eve-from-the-old-irish/
