13. FREEDOM’S DAWN
August 1947
This dawn that’s marked and wounded,
This dawn that night has nibbled on
It’s not the dawn we expected;
It’s not the dawn we were looking for.
Hoping we would find it somewhere,
Friends, comrades set out thinking
14. Do Not Ask of Me, My Love
Do not ask for me, my love,
That love I once had for you.
There was a time when
For there are other sorrows in the world
than love,
And other pleasure too.
Do not ask of me, my love,
The love I once had for you
15. My Companion, My Friend
If I could just believe my friend
That the sadness in your eyes,
Your heartache without end
Could be ended with my love
My devotion and my care
If my reassuring words could be that pill
Which will wake you from that dark despair
Which will wake you from that dark despair
And wash away the stains of insult from
your brow!
16. NOWHERE, NO TRACE
Nowhere, no trace can I discover
Of spilt blood,
Not on the murderer’s hand nor on
his sleeve;
No daggers with red lips nor scarlet-
pointed swords.
I see no blots on the dust,
No stains on the walls.
Nowhere, nowhere
