Yet she will not endure

That I should rise up to her,

I must long for her from flights afar,

For, alas! I'm in fact an eccentric star.

The fixed stars all in bitter fun

Declare I'm a lost and prodigal son.

They say I still go tottering

Here, there, among them pottering,

And where I once on my way have been

Nothing but dimness and darkness are seen.
