What Means This, When I Lie Alone?

What means this when I lie alone? I toss, I turn, I sigh, I groan. My bed me seems as hard as stone. What means this?

I sigh, I plain continually. The clothes that on my bed do lie Always methink they lie awry. What means this?

In slumbers oft for fear I quake. For heat and cold I burn and shake. For lack of sleep my head doth ache. What means this?

A mornings then when I do rise I turn unto my wonted guise, All day after muse and devise. What means this?

And if perchance by me there pass She unto whom I sue for grace, The cold blood forsaketh my face. What means this?

But if I sit near her by With loud voice my heart doth cry And yet my mouth is dumb and dry. What means this?

To ask for help no heart I have. My tongue doth fail what I should crave. Yet inwardly I rage and rave. What means this?

Thus have I passed many year And many a day, though naught appear But most of that that most I fear. What means this?
