From every joy he turns away:

Couched on cold earth, his days are passed

With scanty fare and hermit's fast.

This moment from his humble bed

He lifts, perhaps, his weary head,

And girt by many a follower goes

To bathe where silver Sarjú flows.

How, when the frosty morn is dim,

Shall Sarjú be a bath for him

Nursed with all love and tender care,
