1. The heart grew weary for a time
Worn down by sorrows

2. It weakened resolve and became fickle
Being kind to the undeserving

3. Its disturbing worries did not cease
Tarnishing our purity

4. And I was amazed that death
Did not bend its determination

5. We endured with noble patience
But none had patience for us

6. Its resolve we kept secret
But our secret was divulged

7. We were content with anxiety
But it was not content with us
