1. I have reminded, though reminding tires me,
I have called out, if only my call were heard,

2. I came with it, though the worshipers had left,
I came with it, though the strollers had come,

3. The clouds of roses are dry from what
The interlopers crowded at their watering place,

4. If only Moses would quench me like Moses
Did the shepherds when they were driven from the watering place,

5. And not oblige me, so I am not obligated
To one whose reward was given before the gift,

6. Gifts do not remain, though they be great,
But praise remains, however small.
