Why should I murmur at my lot forlorn? - ZaunköniG - 15.07.2007 Why should I murmur at my lot forlorn? The self-same Fate that doom’d me to be poor Endures me with a spirit to endure All, and much more, than is or has been borne By better men, of want, or worldly scorn. My soul has faith, my body has the nerve To brave the penance that my sins deserve. And yet my helpless state I deeply mourn: Well could I bear to be deserted quite, - Less should I blame my fortune were it worse; - But taking all, it yet hath left me friends, For whom I needs must mourn the wayward spite That hides my purpose in an empty purse, Since what I grateful wish, in wishing ends. |
