XIII-III

A look of pain I’m and see no cure quick,
I boast not but weep being old, weak and sick.
I’m lost arrow though, put in nation’s bow,
Use me again if the nation thinks so,

1.         The literal version of line 3 and 4 is as follows:
In nation’s quiver I’m lost arrow though,
I am fit to be used from the same bow.
Basic thought:- That my nation has forgotten me.
