Desire that is so Known (37/40)

How many the births,
How many the deaths,
That, I so helpless, have experienced.
Thou know them all that knoweth all.
Alas! I, that am ignorant know not.
Will mind, word and body ever remember?
No more births can I bear.
Keep me here as serf at Thy Feet.
Thou, the Heavenly Being seated
At the pinnacle of scriptures!
