Summer 2. Infant Sorrow: Susan Craft Larson, mezzo-soprano; pianist, Yelena Birayeva with Boston Metro Opera; music by David Edgar Walther.
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. |
