Oh, few are they along the way

Who sing when skies are gray!

ONE LIFE

Oh, I am hurt to death, my Love;

The shafts of Fate have pierced my striving heart,

And I am sick and weary of

The endless pain and smart.

My soul is weary of the strife,

And chafes at life, and chafes at life.

Time mocks me with fair promises;
