All the statues and all the temples bore Me;

All the philosophies bore Thee;

All the statues and all the temples bore Thee.

All the women of the earth weary Me;

The fruit of the vine wearieth Me;

All the symphonies weary Me.

The fruit of the vine wearieth Thee;

All the symphonies weary Thee.

Victory and defeat fatigue Me;

Gladness and sorrowing fatigue Me;

Life and death fatigue Me.

Gladness and sorrowing fatigue Thee;

Life and death fatigue Thee.

The earth and the heavens weary Me;

The sun by day and the moon by night weary Me;

All the great stars of heaven weary Me.

—The earth and the heavens weary Thee;

The sun by day and the moon by night weary Thee;

The glorious company of the Apostles tireth Me;

The goodly fellowship of the Prophets tireth Me;

The noble army of Martyrs tireth Me.

The Cherubim and the Seraphim weary Thee;

Thyself wearieth Thee.
