Anger lay by me all night long,
His breath was hot upon my brow,
He told me of my burning wrong,
All night he talked and would not go.
He stood by me all through the day,
Struck from my hand the book, the pen;
He said: -Hear first what I-ve to say,
And sing, if you-ve the heart to, then.-
And can I cast him from my couch?
And can I lock him from my room?
Ah no, his honest words are such
That he-s my true-lord, and my doom.
Anger Lay By Me
