The Stonecutter

There once was a stonecutter Who was dissatisfied with himself and with his position in life The stonecutter woke before the sun's bright gaze Could warm the cold dirt floor of his rude hut And from his bag, he drew a flint and struck A spark he deftly blew into a blaze And as he knelt and baked his simple bread Reflecting on the toil that lay ahead His weary heart was laden down with grief To think the day could offer no relief From his unending struggle with the stone The hammer blows that wracked him to the bone The elements that soaked and scorched his skin He cursed the life that fate had granted him To carve the stubborn mountain's face alone That kings might build their fortresses of stone
