John Berryman - Dream Song 100: How this woman came by the courage

How this woman came by the courage, how she got br the courage, Henry bemused himself in a frantic hot br night of the eight of July, br where it came from, did once the Lord frown down br upon her ancient cradle thinking 'This one br will do before she die br br for two and seventy years of chipped indignities br at least,' and with his thunder clapped a promise? br In that far away town br who looky upon my mother with shame & rage br that any should endure such pilgrimage, br growled Henry sweating, grown br br but not grown used to the goodness of this woman br in her great strength, in her hope superhuman, br no, no, not used at all. br I declare a mystery, he mumbled to himself, br of love, and took the bourbon from the shelf br and drank her a tall one, tall.
