FIRST LESSONS
music by Glenn Hardy poem by Margaret Hardy
In the house on the well kept street cruelty ridicule drunkenness and in the hallways and in the bedrooms disdain And yet And yet the stars did not cease to shine And yet the moon was not forsaken. A child who has grown up here shall take off her coat of sorrows leaving it somewhere forgotten beneath the agate sky: like the stars her light shall not be diminished like the moon she is not forsaken. (©1995 Hardy Perennials Music)
