Debts

Jessie B. Rittenhouse

MY debt to you, Belovèd,

Is one I cannot pay

In any coin of any realm

On any reckoning day;

For where is he shall figure

The debt, when all is said,

To one who makes you dream again

When all the dreams were dead?

Or where is the appraiser

Who shall the claim compute

Of one who makes you sing again

When all the songs were mute?
