[jamenta]

I would bathe my spirit in the days of men.

I would come naked before sorrow.

I would kneel beside the sorrowing

With my heart - bare

That I might share their sorrow.

.

I would let mine eyes weep with men;

I would drink the salt of sorrow's wine,

That its bitterness might purge my soul.

Oh, I would be a companion

Of all the spirit's joys and ills,

Thereby I might know the souls of men.

.
