Living
Supplication
From The Band of Gideon, and Other Lyrics (1918)
Living
I am so tired and weary,
So tired of the endless fight,
So weary of waiting the dawn
And finding endless night.
That I ask but rest and quiet —
Rest for days that are gone,
And quiet for the little space
That I must journey on.
