1. Take my advice, and let that suffice from me,
Despite my crookedness and blindness.

2. What do my companions seek when with me?
They wanted my speech, but I sought my silence.

3. Between us lies a great, far chasm,
So they aimed their course, and I aimed my stillness.

4. For distress pushes its wearer
To a day of days of protection.

5. I see things gathered by origins,
And how much loss and joy in fate.

6. It is the animal of human and beast,
And they are horses of bay and chestnut.
