SONG MAKING
MY heart cried like a beaten childCeaselessly all night long;I had to take my own criesAnd thread them into a song.
One was a cry at black midnightAnd one when the first cock crew—My heart was like a beaten child,But no one ever knew.
Life, you have put me in your debtAnd I must serve you long—But oh, the debt is terribleThat must be paid in song.
