“I am now an aged worker,
I have toiled, and read, and sung;
Oft me lyre was tuned to gladness,
Ah! more oft by woe unstrung.
I have toiled, and read, and sung;
Oft me lyre was tuned to gladness,
Ah! more oft by woe unstrung.
“Now my task is nearly ended,
And my song ere long shall cease;
Day is waning, shadows falling,
Soon my eyes shall close in peace.”
And my song ere long shall cease;
Day is waning, shadows falling,
Soon my eyes shall close in peace.”
