Paul Laurence Dunbar - The Debt
Work rating: Low

This is the debt I pay  
   Just for one riotous day,
   Years of regret and grief,
   Sorrow without relief.
   Pay 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 thought,
  Poor was the loan at best —
  God! but the interest!
