Canticle
I said: So I must go away,my life half spent,assigned to the world below
for the rest of my years.
I said: No more shall I see the Lordin the land of the living;no more shall I look upon man or womanwithin this world.
My home is pulled up and removedlike a shepherd's tent.
Like a weaver you have rolled up my life;you cut it from the loom.
From dawn to dark you have been making an emf-of me;till daybreak I cried for help, -.,;.
yet like a lion you have crushed all my bones.
I cry like a swallow;I moan like a dove;
my eyes look wearily to heaven.Take care of me, Lord.
How can I speak, and what can I say to God?The Lord has acted.
I must endure the rest of my yearsin bitterness of soul.
But the Lord is over us;
we live, and everything in us livesby the spirit of the Lord.
