There dwells a wife by the Northern Gate	A
And a wealthy wife is she	B
She breeds a breed o' rovin' men	C
And casts them over sea	B
	-
And some are drowned in deep water	D
And some in sight o' shore	E
And word goes back to the weary wife	F
And ever she sends more	E
	-
For since that wife had gate or gear	G
Or hearth or garth or bield	A
She willed her sons to the white harvest	A
And that is a bitter yield	A
	-
She wills her sons to the wet ploughing	H
To ride the horse of tree	B
And syne her sons come back again	C
Far spent from out the sea	B
	-
The good wife's sons come home again	C
With little into their hands	I
But the lore of men that ha' dealt with men	C
In the new and naked lands	I
	-
But the faith of men that ha' brothered men	C
By more than easy breath	J
And the eyes o' men that ha' read wi' men	C
In the open books of death	J
	-
Rich are they rich in wonders seen	K
But poor in the goods o' men	C
So what they ha' got by the skin o' their teeth	L
They sell for their teeth again	C
	-
For whether they lose to the naked life	F
Or win to their hearts' desire	D
They tell it all to the weary wife	F
That nods beside the fire	D
	-
Her hearth is wide to every wind	A
That makes the white ash spin	M
And tide and tide and 'tween the tides	N
Her sons go out and in	M
	-
Out with great mirth that do desire	D
Hazard of trackless ways	O
In with content to wait their watch	P
And warm before the blaze	O
	-
And some return by failing light	A
And some in waking dream	Q
For she hears the heels of the dripping ghosts	R
That ride the rough roof beam	Q
	-
Home they come home from all the ports	S
The living and the dead	A
The good wife's sons come home again	C
For her blessing on their head	A
