Woe is He Who Desires
Woe is He
who so sought
the pleasure of attention
Woe is He
who so desired
everyone's affection
He who wanted
to please the crowds
He who wanted
to appear
never down.
Praise to him
who knows all humility
Praise to him
who recognizes
lack of personal ability.
Praise to him
who feels for others
Praise to him
whose own feelings
he does not smother.
Praise to him
who knows his own
faults.
