Poem: Tristitiae

上海龙凤shlf最新地址Poem: Tristitiae

 

[Greek text which cannot be reproduced]

 

O well for him who lives at ease

With garnered gold in wide domain,

Nor heeds the splashing of the rain,

上海龙凤shlf最新地址The crashing down of forest trees.

 

上海龙凤shlf最新地址O well for him who ne'er hath known

上海龙凤shlf最新地址The travail of the hungry years,

A father grey with grief and tears,

A mother weeping all alone.

 

But well for him whose foot hath trod

The weary road of toil and strife,

上海龙凤shlf最新地址Yet from the sorrows of his life.

上海龙凤shlf最新地址Builds ladders to be nearer God.
