Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Songs of the Dead End I do not sing Of angel fair or damozel That leans athwart a painted My little verses only tell How human beings live and die, And labour as their years go by. I do not sing Of plaster saints or jealous gods, But of the little ones I know, Who paint their cheeks or bear their hods Because they live in doing so Their hapless life on earth below. I sing of them Whose lives are varied as their creeds - I´ve shared their every toil and care, I know their many hopes and needs, I´ve seen Death take them unaware; Mayhap some day their death I´ll share. I sing their life, Misknown, miscalled, misunderstood, Its ups and downs, its outs and ins; I know the evil and the good, Where virtue ends and vice begins - But judge no mortal by his sins. I sing of them, The underworld, the great oppressed, Befooled of parson, priest, and king, Who mutely plod earth´s pregnant breast, Who weary of their sorrowing, - The Great Unwashed - of them I sing. I sing my songs, In mirthful guise or woeful strain; I´ve dwelt where woe and hunger dwell, And told my rosaries of pain - I sing my songs to you - and well, You´ll maybe like them - who can tell?
