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!
