First Line: I am so tired and weary
Last Line: That I must journey on.
Subject(s): Rest
I am so tired and weary,
So tired of the endless fight,
So weary of waiting the dawn
And finding endless night.
That I ask but rest and quiet --
Rest for the days that are gone,
And quiet for the little space
That I must journey on.
