Compassion
	Paul Lawrence Dunbar, Nina Simone
	Because I have loved so deeply Because I haved loved so long God in his great compassion Gave me the gift old song Because I have loved so vainly Sung with such faltering breath Oh, oh, oh, the Master in His infinite mercy Offers the boon of death
	This is a piece written by poet Paul Lawrence Dunbar and set to music by Nina Simone.
