THE SINGER by ANNA WICKHAM

First Line: IF I HAD PEACE TO SIT AND SING
Last Line: IF IT IS SOMETIMES SWIFT AND STRONG.
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.
