Wearisome nights and months of burdening woe.

I would not alway live this loathed life

Whose days are vanity. Soon shall I sleep

Low in the dust, and when the morning comes

And thro' its curtaining mists ye seek my face

I shall not be."


Earnest the Shuhite spake,

"How long shall these thy words, like eddying winds

Fall empty on the ear?
