| I wish I could gather the world and suckle them on my pain | |
 | |  |
|
 |
 | |  |
| And watch them drop one by one, unable to sustain | |
 | |  |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
 | |  |
| To see the looks of horror that the taste does bitterly give | |
 | |  |
|
 |
 | |  |
| And catch the befuddlement as they wonder how I yet can live | |
 | |  |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
 | |  |
| But then I think that this won't do, for my pain is solely mine | |
 | |  |
|
 |
 | |  |
| So onward I endure it, watching the clock kill time. | |
