The wife in "The Wife's Lament" thinks her husband is A. suffering great sadness.
He was forced to leave her and the town he was living in, although it is not explained why this is the case. His wife is devastated, and believes that he is in great pain because he had to abandon her. This is why she wants to go and find him, in order to be with him again.
Doesn't he think that he hears the heart beating under the floor board?
Because he hears this faint beating leaving him to be paranoid that the cops know that he hid that guy under there.
Roses are red violets are blue where did they come from I don’t know because I don’t want them. That all I can think of lol
