Ii

Listen in the reader

Who ne’er his bread with tears hath ate, Who never through the sad night hours Weeping upon his bed hath sate, He knows not you, you heavenly powers.

Forth into life you bid us go, And into guilt you let us fall, Then leave us to endure the woe It brings unfailingly to all.
