Values + 

All the pretty baubles spread + 

Are not the answer to my need, + 

These tinseled trappings but beguile + 

This journeying, while deep within + 

A want unspeakable resides, + 

That throbs and throbs unceasingly⁠— + 

So hungering⁠—no banquet spread + 

Can tempt it, and no golden wine + 

Make it forget: I balance it⁠— + 

The world flies upward in the scale! + 

Always, unsoothed, unquieted, + 

It aches and aches across the days + 

And sears the nights that sum my life. + 
