The slaves loved deeply and vainly and were rejected. They only found solace and peace in the songs they sang; just like caged birds sing. The gift of song of the African American is an indelible heritage that America can never deny The only hope for the slave to REST was looking towards the "boon of death," that God in his infinite mercy offered! What an eloquent piece of poetry set to music and sung by the Priestess of Soul, Nina Simone. Thanks for the posting!

Because I have loved so deeply
Because I haved loved so long
God in his great compassion
Gave me the gift old song
Because I have loved so vainly
Sung with such faltering breath
Oh, oh, oh, the Master in
His infinite mercy
Offers the boon of death

The Queen Of Jazz & Blues Nina Simone, shows of her Gospel chops. By far one of the most important and influential artists of the 20th Century.
An artist by which all must be measured. Nina Simone is the Truth!
