I've sung my song

E. Ashford

I've lived my day, I've sung my song,

I've fought and loved and striv'n;

The coming night is black and long,

I meet it calm, unshriv'n.

I've fought and wrought as best I might

And struck no coward blow;

A man's a man, a fight's a fight,

This law is all I know.

And some sweet days of love I've had,

Dear days of calm and pure delight;

Then, o defiant soul, be glad,

And o, my love, good-night!
