GROWTH, by JOHN RICHARD MORELAND
First Line: It was such a little, little sin
Last Line: Is a hungry giant now.
Subject(s): Sin
First Line: It was such a little, little sin
Last Line: Is a hungry giant now.
Subject(s): Sin
It was such a little, little sin
And such a great big day,
That I thought the hours would swallow it,
Or the wind blow it away.
But the moments passed so swiftly,
And the wind died out somehow,
And the sin that was once a weakling
Is a hungry giant now.
