'What do you make so fair and bright?'

O lovely to see in all men's sight
Shall be the cloak of Sorrow,
In all men's sight.'
'What do you build with sails for flight?'
'I build a boat for Sorrow:
O swift on the seas all day and night
Saileth the rover Sorrow,
All day and night.'

Soundless shall be the footfall light
In all men's ears of Sorrow,
Sudden and light.'
