I've sung my song
Language: English
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!
