And I bear the bitterness of living; weariness has touched me
A life of hardship has burdened me,
from it, and hunger assailed me amid its fury,
And its shackles have caused me much grief.

until, because of it, in my thirst, it seemed to me
Until it seemed, in my thirst,
that death is cool sweetness in the mouth of hope.
That death lies waiting at my wish's spring.
