DEBT
by: Jesse Rittenhouse (1869-1948)
- Y debt to
you, Belovéd,
- Is one I cannot pay
- In any coin of any realm
- On any reckoning day;
-
- For where is he shall figure
- The debt, when all is said,
- To one who makes you dream again
- When all the dreams were dead?
-
- Or where is the appraiser
- Who shall the claim compute,
- Of one who makes you sing again
- When all the songs were mute?
