Simmering sun ascends
to dig deep into my heart.
Hours of black and yellow nights stretch
Gnawing me from all the ends.
Friends have no time for me
And there is plain drudgery
Written in my book of destiny...
Why not with myself be happy
And with my Great Host* be merry?
Shouldn't the pilgrim be seeking
The Tavern* where He's waiting?
