BLUEBEARD'S LAST WIFE: COMES BRIGHT SUNDAY by OLIVER BROOK HERFORD

First Line: OF BLUEBEARD'S WIVES BRIGHT SUNDAY WAS THE BEST
Last Line: HE PITCHED HER, LUTE AND ALL, INTO THE MOAT.
Subject(s): SABBATH; SUNDAY;
Of Bluebeard's wives Bright Sunday was the best,
Giver of recreation, joy and rest.
Unhappily for her one Sabbath day
She chanced upon her mandolin to play.
She did not live to play another note;
He pitched her, lute and all, into the moat.
