                 I'm burdened with words,
                          I cannot speak;
                 I'm buried in hurts,
                          I never seeked;
                 I'm swallowed by Earth,
                          I cannot breathe;
                 I'm dying from birth,
                          I never plead;
                 I'm blinded with blur,
                          I cannot see;
                 I'm guarded by verge,
                          I cannot be;
                 I'm deafened in curse,
                          I always hear;
                 I've fallen from first,
                          I always fear;
                 I often have heard,
                          never believed;
                 I often have burned,
                          never proceed;
                 I mostly have turned,
                          never foresee;
                 I mostly have learned,
                          never have leaned.
