Careful and troubled about many things—
Alas! that it should be so with us still,
As in the days of Martha—I went forth,
Harassed and heartsick, with hot, aching brow,
Thought-fevered—haply to escape myself.
Alas! that it should be so with us still,
As in the days of Martha—I went forth,
Harassed and heartsick, with hot, aching brow,
Thought-fevered—haply to escape myself.
