Fiend In a Cloud

John Vanderslice

Compositor: John Vanderslice

My mother groaned
My father wept
Into the dangerous
World i leapt

Helpless and naked
Piping loud
Like a fiend hid
In a cloud

Struggling in my father's hand
Fighting against my swaddling bands
Bound and weary i thought best
To sulk upon my mother's breast
