The Lonely VoiceA Poem by Paris HladThe Lonely Voice
-The Heart That Moved the
Score-
-
Today, I gave away my song To all who cared to hear, But they heard only My rough voice,
And not My hope And fear
They marked the rasp Within my throat,
But not the melody,
Though several sang Unto themselves, As they would Suffer me
Some bars of gold I set upon
A table near the door, for I
was certain Some would read the
heart that moved the score
When all had left, The bars remained, And I gave up the tear
That quavers in a halting
voice That sings of hope and fear. © 2023 Paris Hlad |
