That is easy, that is light;

Think of me, who, all day long,

Still must croon without relief

The low swallow-song of grief;

Think of me, who have no charm

For the tedious pain of life;

Me, who, far from war’s alarm,

Lack the fiery joys of strife:

Think, oh think, of me, who share not

Noble work, but brood and wait;
