by Robert Seymour Bridges (1844 - 1930)

Language: English 
All women born are so perverse
No man need boast their love possessing.
If naught seem better, nothing's worse:
All women born are so perverse.
From Adam's wife, that proved a curse,
Though God had made her for a blessing,
All women born are so perverse
No man need boast their love possessing.

Composition:

    Set to music by Frank Bridge (1879 - 1941), "So perverse", 1905, published 1916 [ voice and piano ]
