Oh, Troubled Soul ''Grief''
Oh troubled soul, oh troubled soul
How wretched, how battered
Like an ass yoked with a cart
Art thou heavy and ladened?
Oh troubled soul, oh troubled soul
How grieved, how bewildered
like the beast of burden
Art thou beat and befuddled?
Oh troubled soul, oh troubled soul
How beset, how deserted
like a Rose trampled upon
art thou bleary and weary?
Oh troubled soul, oh troubled soul
How bemused, how beleaguered
like milk spilled over the floor
art thou in mess and helpless?
Oh troubled soul, oh troubled soul
How drained, how disenchanted
like a Broken Cistern
art thou fussy and thirsty?
Oh troubled soul, oh troubled soul
How priceless, how Prowess
like the Oasis in a desert
Thou art cherished and highly treasured.
