Here are lies--
I stole from the groom,
Then gave to the bride;
I went to her room
And locked myself inside.
Here is nonsense--
God is a woman
Who lives in outer space;
And when she cries, it snows
Little lace-drops from her face.
Here is truth--
A bouquet is on the sill,
And a garter on the bed;
The wolves live in the snowy woods,
Her tracks lead there instead.
