This moving work forms one of several responsories for Tenebrae. Like the other reponsories, this includes a verse, the response, a verse and another response. The response features a low setting for Altos, Tenors and Basses, and suprises the listener with a piercing treble/soprano note on the words "Si est dolor similis sicut dolor meus". Many people liken this to a cry of pain, as the words translate to "If there is any sorrow like my sorrow". | This moving work forms one of several responsories for Tenebrae.

Latin text
Caligaverunt oculi mei a fletu meo: quia elongatus est a me, qui consolabatur me: Videte, omnes populi, si est dolor similis sicut dolor meus.
V: O vos omnes, qui transitis per viam, attendite, et videte si est dolor similis sicut dolor meus
English translation
My eyes are darkened by my tears: For He is far from me that conforted Me: See, O all ye people, if there be a sorrow like unto My sorrow
V. O all ye that pass by, behold and see if there be a sorrow like unto My sorrow
