Satisfaction

Three things there are upon the earth
that cannot satisfy:
the thing I love, the thing I lack,
the thing that strikes my eye;

and four there are that cost too much,
no matter what I pay:
a vow, a hope, a secret deed,
an answer when I pray;

and five things that I welcome not
(perhaps I am too proud):
a yoke, a load, a lover's heart,
a coffin, and a shroud.
