"The Debt " by Paul Laurence Dunbar
This is the debt I play
Just for one riotous day
Years of regret and grief,
Sorrow without relief.
Put it I will to the end
Until the grave, my friend,
Gives me a true release
Gives me the clasp of peace.
Slight was the thing I bought,
Small was the debt I though,
Poor was the loan at best
God! But the interest!
