- THE CLOAK, THE BOAT, AND THE SHOES
-
- "WHAT do you make so fair and bright?'
- "I make the cloak of Sorrow:
- O lovely to see in all men's sight
- Shall be the cloak of Sorrow,
- In all men's sight.'
- "What do you build with sails for flight?'
- "I build a boat for Sorrow:
- O swift on the seas all day and night
- Saileth the rover Sorrow,
- All day and night.'
- What do you weave with wool so white?'
- "I weave the shoes of Sorrow:
- Soundless shall be the footfall light
- In all men's ears of Sorrow,
- Sudden and light.'
