Composer : Igor Stravinsky
My father!
Can I desert him and his devotion
for a love who has deserted me?
No.
My father has strength of purpose,
while Tom is weak and needs
the comfort of a helping hand.
Oh God! protect dear Tom,
support my father and
strengthen my resolve.
I go to him.
Love can not falter, can not desert.
Though it be shunned, or be forgotten,
though it be hurt., if love be love,
it will not alter.
Should I see my love in need,
it shall not matter what he may be.
