  • 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
