To suffer is a virtue: to endure
What others without reason place on you.
And patience while you suffer is a cure
For all the pain adherent thereunto.
For suffering is what you have to do
When something undeserved is suddenly
Handed to you; it's how you muddle through
When everything is changed. Patience must be
The state of those who, unexpectedly,
Are faced with that which does not correspond
With what they earned, and in that moment see
An altered world on which their sun has dawned.
So I may say I suffer love indeed
For you love me, and I know not the seed.
