The Ballad of Reading GaolOscar WildeI"He did not wear his scarlet coat, For blood and wine are red,And blood and wine were on his hands When they found him with the dead,The poor dead woman whom he loved, And murdered in her bed.He walked amongst the Trial Men In a suit of shabby grey;A cricket cap was on his head, And his step seemed light and gay;But I never saw a man who looked So wistfully at the day.I never saw a man who looked With such a wistful eyeUpon that little tent of blue Which prisoners call the sky,And at every drifting cloud that went With sails of silver by.I walked, with other souls in pain, Within another ring,And was wondering if the man had done A great or little thing,When a voice behind me whispered low, “That fellows got to swing.”Dear Christ! the very prison walls Suddenly seemed to reel,And the sky above my head became Like a casque of scorching steel;And, though I was a soul in pain, My pain I could not feel.I only knew what hunted thought Quickened his step, and whyHe looked upon the garish day With such a wistful eye;The man had killed the thing he loved And so he had to die.Yet each man kills the thing he loves By each let this be heard,Some do it with a bitter look, Some with a flattering word,The coward does it with a kiss, The brave man with a sword!Some kill their love when they are young, And some when they are old;Some strangle with the hands of Lust, Some with the hands of Gold:The kindest use a knife, because The dead so soon grow cold.Some love too little, some too long, Some sell, and others buy;Some do the deed with many tears, And some without a sigh:For each man kills the thing he loves, Yet each man does not die....."I started to listen to your post, and in I made a connection in my head to, Oscar Wilde's "Ballad To Reading Goal." I guess these rainy NYC days lend themselves well, to ghosts, shadows, and too many memories... Thank You "BebingtonGril," for Posting this misplaced treasure...Please Be Well, and Stay Strong, Will

Very nice. I added this to the short list of Ted Hawkins live performances I have compiled on YouTube. Sorry, I apparently can't link that here or I'd share it in this post.
