Blake Songs: 2. Infant Sorrow: Our first Groundhog Day birthday boy, Dr.
Sam Walter, piano, is joined his son composer & bass-baritone, David Edgar Walther, our second Groundhog Day birth-day boy. The Poem is by William Blake. |
My mother groand! my father wept. Into the dangerous world I leapt: Helpless, naked, piping loud; Like a fiend hid in a cloud. Struggling in my fathers hands: Striving against my swaddling bands: Bound and weary I thought best To sulk upon my mothers breast. |
