and where you willed, you went;
In old age you will follow me
suspended head-down on a tree
you'll go where you are sent."
and run to get away;
With fervent hope and patient care,
with cry and shout "It is not fair!"
We hold our fear at bay.
our face is turned to see
What we feared most, like some dread hound
is but the means by which we're crowned
And find true liberty.
