And whiter than milk;
They were more ruddy in body than rubies,
Like sapphire in their1 appearance.
And whiter than milk;
They were more ruddy in body than rubies,
Like sapphire in their1 appearance.

They go unrecognized in the streets;
aTheir skin clings to their bones,
It has become as dry as wood.

Than those who die of hunger;
For these apine away,
Stricken for lack of the fruits of the bfield.

And it has devoured its foundations.
