1. I asked and you gave me little, it was not enough
Nor did it quench my poverty and need

2. You gave some good but it was too petite
And stifled my early hopes and all my dreams

3. You did not do the right, the good, the best
That I complain of to soothe my aching chest

4. No joy in complaints, no bliss in wealth
You gave me pain that crushed my patience health

5. May you be rewarded as misers of all good
For you are crueller than my harsh fate could
