THE SINGER, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: If I had peace to sit and sing
Last Line: If it is sometimes swift and strong.
Alternate Author Name(s): Hepburn, Patrick, Mrs.
Subject(s): Singing & Singers; Songs


If I had peace to sit and sing,
Then I could make a lovely thing;
But I am stung with goads and whips,
So I build songs like iron ships.

Let it be something for my song,
If it is sometimes swift and strong.
