Mother to Son
Well, son, I’ll tell you:
Life for me ain’t been no crystal stair, It’s had tacks in it,
And splinters,
5 And boards torn up,
And places with no carpet on the floor— Bare.
But all the time
I’se been a-climbin’ on
10 And reachin’ landin’s And turnin’ corners,
And sometimes goin’ in the dark Where there ain’t been no light. So boy, don’t you turn back.
15 Don’t you set down on the steps ’Cause you finds it’s kinder hard Don’t you fall now—
For I’se still climbin’,
And life for me ain’t been no crystal stair.
Fear
I don’t want them to turn my little girl into a swallow.
She would fly far away into the sky and never fly again to my straw bed,
5 or she would nest in the eaves where I could not comb her hair.
I don’t want them to turn my little girl into a swallow.
I don’t want them to make
10 my little girl a princess.
In tiny golden slippers
how could she play on the meadow? And when night came, no longer would she sleep at my side.
15 I don’t want them to make my little girl a princess.
And even less do I want them one day to make her queen. They would put her on a throne
20 where I could not go to see her.
And when nighttime came I could never rock her . . . I don’t want them to make my little girl a queen.
