As a servant earnestly desireth the shadow, And as an hireling looketh for the reward of his work:

As a servant earnestly longs for the shade and the evening shadows, and as a hireling who looks for the reward of his work,

As a servant that earnestly desireth the shadow, And as a hireling that looketh for his wages:

Like a slave we pant for a shadow, await our task like a hired worker.

Just as a servant desires the shade, and just as the hired hand looks forward to the end of his work,

As a servant longeth for the shade, as the hireling looketh for the end of his work;
