She had no choice Disused and dispensed with Thrown aside like a napkin Time after time
A waif and an orphan cast to the winds The Heavenly Father absolving her sins Un/protected by law or merely adrift Or absolutely yielding to the aims of God's gift
In the man's favor All for the best A piece of good fortune To clean hearth and nest
Found goods without a known owner Relinquished and lost Without a spouse to claim her To waive or to tame her
She came along by chance Like a homeless child That he could refuse or abandon When fair weather turned wild
