Give me hunger, pain and want, Shut me out with shame and failureFrom your doors of gold and fame, Give me your shabbiest, weariest hunger!But leave me a little love, A voice to speak to me in the day end, A hand to touch me in the dark roomBreaking the long loneliness. In the dusk of day-shapesBlurring the sunset, One little wandering, western starThrust out from the changing shores of shadow. Let me go to the window, Watch there the day-shapes of duskAnd wait and know the comingOf a little love.
