Yet once more
I refused to take her hand
Tired from years at my toil
Might I rest
But a moment to explore
Earth’s soil
Famines, earthquakes
How they crushed me
War and illness
They exhaust me
Would a respite from my burden
Break eternal laws?
Every time they venture near me
How they shutter
How they fear me!
Could I come to live just one
To finally learn the cause?
I refused to take her hand

War and illness
They exhaust me
Would a respite from my burden
Break eternal laws?
Every time they venture near me
How they shutter
How they fear me!
Could I come to live just one
To finally learn the cause?
