Poems (Katz)/I laugh, I pray, I sing, I dance
I LAUGH, I PRAY, I SING, I DANCE
I laugh, I pray, I sing, I dance, And if the Father hears perchance The accent of my melody so faint, I shall be turned into the likeness of a saint. And have my name writ in the book Where all the world may come and look. And say her song was heard, For she meekly piped her roundelay like some woodland bird.
I laugh, I pray, I sing, I dance. Who can wake me from this trance? It is not a trance, it is the Truth That holds me by the hand forsooth, And leads me to the Golden Gate Of Love, who is ever there to wait The entrance of the angel band Who have not let go the Father's hand.
