Invocation
Take what thou wilt and leave me love, oh Fate!
Take all I have—friends, honor and fair fame,
Turn me to laughter in the eye of hate,
Clothe me with scorn and bind my brow with shame,
Give me for bread the bitter fruit of care,
Give me to drink the poison-wine of pain,
Seal me with sleepless sorrow and despair—
Take all, change all, oh Fate! so love remain.
Take all I have—friends, honor and fair fame,
Turn me to laughter in the eye of hate,
Clothe me with scorn and bind my brow with shame,
Give me for bread the bitter fruit of care,
Give me to drink the poison-wine of pain,
Seal me with sleepless sorrow and despair—
Take all, change all, oh Fate! so love remain.
