On many paths I've sought to tread,
But still turned back defeated;
With countless projects in my head
Have never one completed.
But still turned back defeated;
With countless projects in my head
Have never one completed.
And now a life I feel was meant
Some good deed to achieve,
Can scarce do aught (so far 'tis spent)
Its promise to retrieve.
Some good deed to achieve,
Can scarce do aught (so far 'tis spent)
Its promise to retrieve.
Oh! that myself I might but find
Ere fate rings down the curtain,
And no more wander, sick and blind,
Where naught is plain or certain!
Ere fate rings down the curtain,
And no more wander, sick and blind,
Where naught is plain or certain!
