6 I am like a desert owl,

like an owl among the ruins.

7 I lie awake; I have become

like a bird alone on a roof.

6 I am like a pelican of the wilderness:

I am like an owl of the desert.

7 I watch, and am as a sparrow alone upon the house top.

6 I am like an owl in the desert,

like a little owl in a far-off wilderness.

7 I lie awake,

lonely as a solitary bird on the roof.

6 I am like a pelican of the wilderness;

I am like an owl of the desert.

7 I lie awake,

And am like a sparrow alone on the housetop.

6 I am like a desert owl,

like an owl living among the ruins.

7 I lie awake.

I am like a lonely bird on a housetop.

6 I am like a pelican of the wilderness;

I am become as an owl of the waste places.

7 I watch, and am become like a sparrow

That is alone upon the house-top.

6 I am become like the pelican of the wilderness, I am as an owl in desolate places; 7 I watch, and am like a sparrow alone upon the housetop.

6 I am like a desert owl, 

like an owl living in the ruins. 

7 I lie awake. 

I am like a lonely bird on a rooftop. 

6 I am like a desert owl,

like an owl among the ruins.

7 I stay awake;

I am like a solitary bird on a roof.

6 I am like an owl of the wilderness,

like a little owl of the waste places.

7 I lie awake;

I am like a lonely bird on the housetop.

6 I am like an owl of the wilderness;

I am like a little owl of the ruins.

7 I lie awake and I am

like a lone bird on a roof.

6 I’m like a desert owl.

I’m like an owl among destroyed buildings.

7 I can’t sleep. I’ve become

like a bird alone on a roof.

6 I resemble a pelican of the wilderness;

I have become like an owl of the waste places.

7 I lie awake,

I have become like a lonely bird on a housetop.
