THE DARK WOMAN.
Is there anybody there to hear me calling,
Anybody there who will understand
That my eyes are dark and my feet falling,
And take me by the hand?
Anybody there who will understand
That my eyes are dark and my feet falling,
And take me by the hand?
Is there anybody there to hear my complaining?
Anybody there with a lantern bright?
For under the dark trees the night is raining
And I am alone in the night.
Anybody there with a lantern bright?
For under the dark trees the night is raining
And I am alone in the night.
Is there anybody there to be sorry a little?
Anyone pitiful and sad and kind?
Anyone coming to lay the spittle
On eyeballs black and blind?
Anyone pitiful and sad and kind?
Anyone coming to lay the spittle
On eyeballs black and blind?
Is there anybody there as kind as a mother
Running and stumbling lest my feet fall?
Anyone there clings close as a brother?
Anyone there at all?
Running and stumbling lest my feet fall?
Anyone there clings close as a brother?
Anyone there at all?
Is there anyone comes with a star or a taper?
Anyone at all that hears my cry?
Coming and calling through the misty vapour,
“Oh, child, be still! It is I!”
Anyone at all that hears my cry?
Coming and calling through the misty vapour,
“Oh, child, be still! It is I!”
