Aye, at the birth o’ wail,

Did set a chill ’pon infant flesh;

And at the track o’ man ’pon Earth

Doth follow ever, and at height afollow,

And doth touch,

And all doth crumble to a naught.

Thou! Thou! Who art thou?

Ever do I to ask, and ever wish

To see the face o’ thee,

And ne’er, ne’er do I to know thee—
