1. Gone are the joys of life, now that friends are gone,
Whose company has drifted far away.

2. Endless became my grief and cares since then.
My heart is filled with woes from every way.

3. The night has come around with veils so dark,
Invading sleep and spreading wide dismay.

4. The gloom has wrapped me in an endless coil,
More than my thanks could match in any way.
