I Beg You To Cease Poem by Mark Heathcote

I Beg You To Cease

Rating: 5.0


Songbird, why, do you, sing so-blue
What good does it do you?
Songbird, why do you sing of sorrow
Penetrate my heart like an arrow
Songbird, why do you sing of unrequited love
What's wrong with my breadcrumbs?
Songbird, why do you whisper lyrically about the moon
And cry, forsook, anchored likes a ship sinking marooned
Songbird, why does your trill voice, not bring me peace
It's poetical and beautiful, I beg you to cease
Songbird stops what you do
Songbird stops singing so blue
What good does it do-I or do you?


~or~

Songbird why did you sing-so-blue
What good did it do you?
Songbird why did you sing-of-sorrow
Penetrate my heart like an arrow
Songbird why did you sing-of-unrequited-love
What's wrong with my breadcrumbs?
Songbird why did you whisper-lyrically to the moon
And cry forsook, anchored likes a ship sinking marooned
Songbird why does your trill voice not bring me peace
It's poetical and beautiful I beg you to cease
Songbird stops what you do
Songbird stops singing so blue
What good does it do-I or do you?

'Songbird stops singing so blue What good does it do I or do you? ' music has always been a gift, I think the blues were born in sadness, many sad people flock to sad songs, but you are correct sometimes life requires happy songs, a positive attitude, nice poem
