POSTSCRIPT, by                    
First Line: I am a maker of songs
Last Line: I am a lover of songs.


I am a maker of songs --

Sweetgrass, and Old Man Winter,
And Burly Horns.

Let the songs loose,
Let them go, let them flow
Into souls . . .
I am a maker of songs.

I am a singer of songs
And a gatherer
Of cripples far-wandering,
And lost tunes,
And waif and stray:

Hang down your Head and Cry,
Lonsesome Dove, and Lowlands Low,
Bosom Friend, Rosario,
Hangman O, Hangman O,
Storm Along, Old Stormy.

I am a lover of songs.
