To see your son in such a plight!

“Look for a carpenter, look for a doctor.

The doctor cannot help me greatly;

The carpenter a house will make me.

“This house no doors nor windows knoweth,

But when from toil the workman goeth

He then on me a gift bestoweth.

“When all is lost and all is finished,

My builder and my war—good-bye,

O mother mine, cease from your weeping,
