Mayn rue-platz [My Resting Place]

1994 SATB a cappella (CE) Get the Music Recording: Goldene Keyt Singers
(Morris Rosenfeld) The classic sweatshop love song.

Morris Rosenfeld’s Mayn rue-plats is the archetypal sweatshop love song:

My love, don’t seek me where myrtle grows, where birds sing, where fountains spray. Where lives wither by machines, where slaves’ chains clang, where tears flow and teeth gnash: that is my resting place. So if you love me truly, come lift up my heart and sweeten my resting place.
