Description

I will stand guard at the gates of Eden,

But never shall I enter.

I will guard eternal paradise,

But never shall I taste it.

I will take the pain sent to me,

But never shall I complain.

I will never think my pain meaningless,

But never shall I know what it means.

I will carry out my duties without fault,

But never shall I see their end.

I will cry tears of agony and sorrow,

But never shall my anger grow.

My anger shall never grow,

But agony and sorrow will cause my tears.

I shall never see my duties end,

But I will carry them without fault.

I shall never know what my pain means,

But I will know it is not meaningless.

I shall never complain of pain,

But I will take that which is sent to me.

I shall never taste eternal paradise,

But I will guard it.

I shall never enter the gates of Eden,

But I will defend it to my dying breath.
