Oh, Troubled Soul ''Grief''

Oh troubled soul, oh troubled soul

How wretched, how battered

Like an ass yoked with a cart

Art thou heavy and ladened?



Oh troubled soul, oh troubled soul

How grieved, how bewildered

like the beast of burden

Art thou beat and befuddled?



Oh troubled soul, oh troubled soul

How beset, how deserted

like a Rose trampled upon

art thou bleary and weary?



Oh troubled soul, oh troubled soul

How bemused, how beleaguered

like milk spilled over the floor

art thou in mess and helpless?



Oh troubled soul, oh troubled soul

How drained, how disenchanted

like a Broken Cistern

art thou fussy and thirsty?



Oh troubled soul, oh troubled soul

How priceless, how Prowess

like the Oasis in a desert

Thou art cherished and highly treasured.
