What Means This, When I Lie Alone?

What means this when I lie alone?I toss, I turn, I sigh, I groan.My bed me seems as hard as stone.What means this?

I sigh, I plain continually.The clothes that on my bed do lieAlways methink they lie awry.What means this?

In slumbers oft for fear I quake.For heat and cold I burn and shake.For lack of sleep my head doth ache.What means this?

A mornings then when I do riseI turn unto my wonted guise,All day after muse and devise.What means this?

And if perchance by me there passShe unto whom I sue for grace,The cold blood forsaketh my face.What means this?

But if I sit near her byWith loud voice my heart doth cryAnd yet my mouth is dumb and dry.What means this?

To ask for help no heart I have.My tongue doth fail what I should crave.Yet inwardly I rage and rave.What means this?

Thus have I passed many yearAnd many a day, though naught appearBut most of that that most I fear.What means this?
