Rhyme Scheme: ABCB BDED AFGF BDED HIJK BDED BLML NOBO

Oh lay my ashes on the windA
That blows across the seaB
And I shall meet a fishermanC
Out of CapriB
-
And he will say seeing meB
What a Strange ThingD
Like a fish's scale or aE
Butterfly's wingD
-
Oh lay my ashes on the windA
That blows away the fogF
And I shall meet a farmer boyG
Leaping through the bogF
-
And he will say seeing meB
What a Strange ThingD
Like a peat ash or aE
Butterfly's wingD
-
And I shall blow to YOUR houseH
And sucked against the paneI
See you take your sewing upJ
And lay it down againK
-
And you will say seeing meB
What a strange thingD
Like a plum petal or aE
Butterfly's wingD
-
And none at all will know meB
That knew me well beforeL
But I will settle at the rootM
That climbs about your doorL
-
And fishermen and farmersN
May see me and forgetO
But I'll be a bitter berryB
In your brewing yetO
