Subject(s): Adversity
I've overlived aspirings,
My fancies I disdain;
The fruit of hollow-heartedness,
Suffering alone remain.
'Neath cruel storms of Fate
With my crown of bay,
A sad and lonely life I lead,
Waiting my latest day.
Thus, struck by latter cold
While howls the wintry wind,
Trembles upon the naked bough
The last leaf left behind.
