Sol 5.6

  1. O Time, how long this separation—

    bondage, exile, and scattering?

  2. Forever journeying onward, as though

    I were the sun, never staying still.

  3. Wavering in my resolves, like a

    hunted man whom a night raid has terrified.

  4. Far from family and home—

    lands; and my peers have died.

  5. Wretched indeed is the life of one whose

    loved ones and pleasures have left him.

  6. How long, then, must I suffer by remaining

    alive? And how life torments me!
