1. Tears in the eyes, no sleep nor sight
Inevitably it was created with meaning

2. And I did not find that meaning, nor your life
Except in weeping when grief knocks

3. So flow, my tears, wet your channels
For it is eloquence, even if not poured in anguish

4. I have been harmed, so do not contradict your suspicions
That my suffering be believed, even if truthfully told
