“And the doors shall be shut in the streets, when the sound of the grinding is low, and he shall rise up at the voice of the bird, and all the daughters of musick shall be brought low;”
The continuation describing people rising at bird song, all singing growing faint, and hair turning white as one becomes afraid of heights or dangers, emphasizes both external changes and internal psychological shifts. The loss of courage—fear of heights formerly navigated—suggests that aging involves not only physical decline but also psychological diminishment. This verse notes the interconnection of body and spirit in aging.
