! made this bitter bread myself;
The -four was fine and white
How could l guess such bitterness
Dwell in thing so light?
With my own hands l pluck'd the
grapes
That spilled this awful wine
They looked so tempting and so fair.
Purpling upon the vine.
But since l made the bread myself.
Myself pluck'd every grape,
l eat and drink-their bitterness
! seek not to escape,
But sometimes-oh, hunger so
For things | used to eat
l dare to sing little song
Of luscious things and sweet
AS some poor, starving bird, per-
chance,
Crouching on broken wing,
With sudden passionate memory
OF highest heaven might sing.
But ere my last note breaks and dies
l bow myself and drink
This awful wine, and eat this bread
And murmur not, nor shrink.
