O, Stupid God, cast not your eyes on me!
Put your attentions where I will not be;
Mark not the path by which I from you flee!
I seek to pass in peace beyond your reach,
Who once would gladly learn and gladly teach,
And that I do so freely, I beseech
You, just for this; I ask no other thing.
I know that even this request will bring
Attention to me from whom your praises sing,
And their cacophonies will wound the ears,
As I have learned from far too many years
Of hearing them, and shedding many tears.
I have no more to shed, so let me go.
I can go quietly; no one need know.
