H. Leslie Adams: For You There Is No Song

Soprano Angela Mitchell and pianist Brett Mitchell perform ‘For You There Is No Song’ from American composer H. Leslie Adams’s 1960 song cycle, ‘Five Millay Songs.’ // SEE ↓ FOR MORE.

TEXT
by Edna St. Vincent Millay

For you there is no song . . .
Only the shaking
Of the voice that meant to sing; the sound of the strong
Voice breaking.
Strange in my hand appears
The pen, and yours broken.
There are ink and tears on the page; only the tears
Have spoken.
