| I found a child who was helpless And hadn't the heart to do away with it. I had to care for what otherwise would have come to harm. ~Grusha |

| She heard or she thought she heard a low voice calling~ the child to her. Not a whining, but calling quite sensibly, or so it seemed to her. "Woman," it said, "help me." And it went on, not whining, but saying quite sensibly: "Know, woman, he who hears not a cry for help but passes by with troubled ears will never hear the gentle call of a lover nor the blackbird at dawn... ~The Singer |

| And she sat with the child a long time, Till evening came, till night came, till dawn came. Fearful is the seductive power of goodness. Toward morning the seduction was complete And she rose, and bent down and, sighing took the child. And carried it away. ~ The Singer |
