I wakened on my hot, hard bed;
Upon the pillow lay my head;
Beneath the pillow I could hear
My little watch was ticking clear.
I thought the throbbing of it went
Like my continual discontent;
I thought it said in every tick:
I am so sick, so sick, so sick:
O death, come quick, come quick, come quick,
Come quick, come quick, come quick, come quick...
'' O death, come quick, come quick, come quick, Come quick, come quick, come quick, come quick... '' the last line with the 4 repetitions of ''come quick'' is really too much..
