Away with thee! O misery!



.........................

Away with thee! O misery!
That clencheth my heart in agony;
Thou hath no bottom nor no cause,
Dost thou not find a home but in me?
Away with thee! O misery!



Away with thee! O misery!
What would'st thou rather have of me,
Than mental peace and harmony;
I know not why thou choseth me,
Away with thee! O misery!



I'd rather have thee dwell in me,
Than in my brother have thee be;
I'd rather bear thee silently,
And tell to none, the tale of thee;
How sweet! How sharp! O misery!
