<p class="poetry">The wind goes to the south and circles around to the north;p> <p class="poetry">round and round<n id="1" /> the wind goes and on its rounds it returns.<n id="2" />p>

<p class="poetry">So I began to despair<n id="1" /> about all the fruit of<n id="2" /> my labor<n id="3" />p> <p class="poetry">for which I worked so hard<n id="4" /> on earth.<n id="5" />p>

<t /><p class="poetry">I tried<n id="1" /> to understand, examine, and comprehend<n id="2" />p> <p class="poetry">the role of<n id="3" /> wisdom in the scheme of things,<n id="4" />p> <p class="poetry">and to understand the stupidity of wickedness<n id="5" /> and the insanity of folly.<n id="6" />p>

<p class="poetry">There was once<n id="1" /> a small city with a few men in it,p> <p class="poetry">and a mighty king attacked it, besieging<n id="2" /> it and building strong<n id="3" /> siege works against it.p>

<p class="poetry">and they are afraid of heights and the dangers<n id="1" /> in the street;p> <p class="poetry">the almond blossoms<n id="2" /> grow white,<n id="3" />p> <p class="poetry">and the grasshopper<n id="4" /> drags itself along,<n id="5" />p> <p class="poetry">and the caper berry<n id="6" /> shrivels up<n id="7" /> &#8211;p> <p class="poetry">because man goes to his eternal home,<n id="8" />p> <p class="poetry">and the mourners go about in the streets &#8211;p>
