I am so tired and weary, <br />So tired of the endless fight, <br />So weary of waiting the dawn <br />And finding endless night. <br /> <br />That I ask but rest and quiet-- <br />Rest for days that are gone, <br />And quiet for the little space <br />That I must journey on.<br /><br />Joseph Seamon Cotter<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/supplication-2/
