dark trinity - robert william service lyrics

Loading...

said i to pain: “you would not dare
do ill to me.”
said pain: “poor fool! why should i care
whom you may be?
to clown and king alike i bring
my meed of bane;
why should you shirk my chastening?”
said pain

said i to grief: “no tears have i
go on your way.”
said grief: “why should i p-ss you by
while others pay?
all men must know the way of woe
from saint to thief
and tears were meant to overflow,”
said grief

said i to death: “from ail and fret
grant me relief.”
said death: “i know you are beset
by pain and grief
but my good will you must await
since human breath
to suffering is consecrate,”
said death

said i to god: “pale sister grief
bleak brother pain
bedevil me beyond belief
and death’s unfain . . .”
said god: “curse not that blessed three
poor human clod!
have faith! believe the one with me,”
said god
