Help me, oh help me in my loneliness!
Lonely my lightfades in the wilderness.
'Be not afraid, for I am yours; you said,
Do not delay, lest you should find me dead.
Caught by the wolf, the lamb hears all too late
The shepherd’s flute lament its cruel fate.
Dying from thirst, I search the sky in vain–
Too late the cloud that brings the saving rain.
