the world never was
this world never was
nor ever will be mine
on me this world's sun
never did favorably shine
the fruits of this world
were for me but bitter wine
the mundane sensual food
too worldly on which to dine
love i would never possess
for which i would always pine
sweet melancholy is the only thing
in this world that is mine
