She Who Drags the Child Feels Nothing but its Weight

from Butchers Sleep Little - Songs for the Chalk Circle by The One and Only Matt Miller

/

about

Exhausted and scared, Grusha decides she can no longer care for the child.

lyrics

When Grusha came to the river,
The flight grew much too much to bear.
When Grusha came to the Sirra,
The helpless child grew too heavy to carry.
Oh, the rosy dawn rising over the fields
is nothing but the cold to the sleepless.
And oh, the happy smoke rising out of the farmhouse
is nothing but a threat to the fugitives.

She who drags the child feels nothing,
but its weight.
