I have watched, and I am As a bird alone on the roof.
A brother I have been to dragons, And a companion to daughters of the ostrich.
My soul `is' for the Lord, More than those watching for morning, Watching for morning!
My God, I call by day, and Thou answerest not, And by night, and there is no silence to me.
My lovers and my friends over-against my plague stand. And my neighbours afar off have stood.
Thou hast taken hold of the watches of mine eyes, I have been moved, and I speak not.
