Lorenz Hart (2 May 1895 – 22 November 1943) was one of the most successful lyricists in the history of Broadway.
Bewitched (Bothered and Bewildered)
Hart experienced depression and sadness throughout his life.-- Wikipedia
Sing a song and do your part
In celebrating Lorenz Hart,
Whose lyrics had a lethal dagger
Hidden in their polished swagger,
With worldly wit and wordplay clothing
Ghastly layers of self-loathing.
