Little Gray Songs from St. Joseph's - Part 40
Friend, thy page says “Pleasure,”
Friend, my page says “Pain.”
But what is the end of our reading?
O it is the same!
Knowledge each will be heeding.
Friend, thy path is pleasure,
Friend, I go with pain.
What is the end of our going?
O for each the same:
Ourselves we shall be knowing.
Friend, thy food is pleasure;
My bread and meat are pain.
What is the end of our living?
For each, for each the same!
Deep sight it will be giving.
Friend, my page says “Pain.”
But what is the end of our reading?
O it is the same!
Knowledge each will be heeding.
Friend, thy path is pleasure,
Friend, I go with pain.
What is the end of our going?
O for each the same:
Ourselves we shall be knowing.
Friend, thy food is pleasure;
My bread and meat are pain.
What is the end of our living?
For each, for each the same!
Deep sight it will be giving.
