<poem>My throat is sore, my voice is hoarse with skriking,
<poem>My throat is sore, my voice is hoarse with skriking,
My rests are sighs, deep from the heart’s root fetched;
My rests are sighs, deep from the heart’s root fetched;
Line 28: Line 27:
Time on my breast, I shrink with hands outstretched;
Time on my breast, I shrink with hands outstretched;
Thus still, and still I sing, and ne’er am linning,  
Thus still, and still I sing, and ne’er am linning,  
For still the close points to my first beginning.
For still the close points to my first beginning.}}

<poem>My throat is sore, my voice is hoarse with skriking,
My rests are sighs, deep from the heart’s root fetched;
My song runs all on sharps, and with oft striking
Time on my breast, I shrink with hands outstretched;
Thus still, and still I sing, and ne’er am linning,
For still the close points to my first beginning.
