Compensation

________________________________________________
Title:     Compensation
Author: Paul Laurence Dunbar [More Titles by Dunbar]

Because I had loved so deeply,
Because I had loved so long,
God in His great compassion
Gave me the gift of song.

Because I have loved so vainly,
And sung with such faltering breath,
The Master in infinite mercy
Offers the boon of Death.

[The end]
Paul Laurence Dunbar's poem: Compensation
