by Joseph Seamon Cotter, Jr. (1895 - 1919)

Supplication
Language: English 
I am so tired and weary,
    So tired of the endless fight,
So weary of waiting the dawn
    And finding endless night.

That I ask but rest and quiet--
    Rest for days that are gone,
And quiet for the little space
    That I must journey on.
