Leanness of Soul

A craving seized them in the wilderness,
and they put God to test in the desert.
He gave them what they asked,
but sent leanness into their soul. Psalm 106


What a pity, to know want,
What a sad affair to be lost,
Desert-hungry

But who is more lost than 
one who has a lean soul?
