I am afraid
as i sit writing
useless words upon this line-

I am afraid
of wanton wasting
of the measure of my time-

I am afraid
as i lay dreaming
a reason i will never find-

I am afraid
that all my scheming
has only made a worried mind-

I am afraid
as i lay dying
going down the last decline,

I'll see the reason
for my living
and wish for just a little time.
