lyrics

Ospedale Degli Innocenti

It was some kind of tray she laid her in.
A young mother had become unexpectedly pregnant.

The reason for conception she kept secret –
she didn’t have to tell the staff anything.

A few days after opening,
this baby was the hospital’s first admission.

The container, in which she’d set the child, revolved.
No trust. No touch.

Mother and carer felt the same – guilty.
The baby’s anonymity.

The abandoned infant would spend her childhood days
in that hospital.

When womanhood approached she’d be placed
in a well-to-do family’s home. Her life-gift.

That’s how things were in Florence
on Friday the 5th of February 1445.
