Blue Song
By Tennessee Williams
I am tired.
I am tired of speech and of action.
If you should meet me upon the
street, do not question me for
I can tell you only my name
and the name of the town I was
born in ——but that is enough.
It does not matter whether tomorrow
arrives anymore. If there is
only this night and after it is
morning it will not matter now.
I am tired. I am tired of speech
and of action. In the heart of me
You will find a tiny handful of
dust. Take it and blow it out
upon the wind. let the wind have
it and it will find its way home.
I am tired.
I am tired of speech and of action.
If you should meet me upon the
street, do not question me for
I can tell you only my name
and the name of the town I was
born in ——but that is enough.
It does not matter whether tomorrow
arrives anymore. If there is
only this night and after it is
morning it will not matter now.
I am tired. I am tired of speech
and of action. In the heart of me
You will find a tiny handful of
dust. Take it and blow it out
upon the wind. let the wind have
it and it will find its way home.
