In My Craft or Sullen Art - Ben Wright/The Jazz Canto Ensemble[00:00:00]
In my craft or sullen art[00:00:17]
Exercised in the still night[00:00:21]
When only the moon rages[00:00:23]
And the lovers lie abed[00:00:25]
With all their griefs in their arms [00:00:28]
I labour by singing light[00:00:35]
Not for ambition or bread[00:00:38]
Or the strut and trade of charms[00:00:40]
On the ivory stages[00:00:43]
But for the common wages[00:00:45]
Of their most secret heart [00:00:47]
Not for the proud man apart[00:00:53]
From the raging moon I write[00:00:55]
On these spindrift pages[00:00:58]
Nor for the towering dead[00:01:00]
With their nightingales and psalms[00:01:03]
But for the lovers their arms[00:01:14]
Round the griefs of the ages [00:01:16]
Who pay no praise or wages[00:01:19]
Nor heed my craft or art[00:01:22]
