RENUNCIATION, by                    
First Line: What man doth once with all his heart renounce
Last Line: And one to him are joy and woe
Subject(s): Abandonment;pride; Desertion;self-esteem;self-respect


WHAT man doth once with all his heart renounce,
By that no more he suffers pain;
Anger and care, desire and discontent,
His quiet soul assault in vain.

He who hath slain the pride that saith, "'Tis mine,"
Nor whispers, "I am thus and so,"
Doth taste the deep repose Nirvana brings,
And one to him are joy and woe.
