Sing Me A Song
Sing me a song
That I, sing, too, even
When my lips so refuse,
Because I don't have the voice.
Without your song
I cannot live a life
In love of the world
Of Renoir and Bacon
And Donne.
The song that you sing
Is one that you alone can
To make me dive the sea
For pearls
And fly to the moon
For vision.
The whole world is
A closed casket for me,
And I'm in it--
Without a song,
Your song.
