PAINFUL WORLD

AWAY FROM THE WORLD
 (A LAMENT POEM)

When i'm by the course sands 

of earth buried and concealed;

Make not noices loud

which will make me awake to a world

of thick sorrow and intense worry

Full of hunger and anger,of disease 

and unease.


Close my eyes and make me not see

the laughing faces of fell-figures of the world;

who with other people's dreams and lives

walk away;leaving pity and corpses 

and not a way for others.


When I'm in the bed of the underworld

let not be attempts for me to be raised

for cruel is the world and bad;

to people uncruel and unevil.

Console women by-labour hurt

and crying children so as not to cry

but let the dying escape in peace

from this place;

The world is a sorrowful place 

and hurtful without solace.
