weary load

It was a weary load of misfortune to be borne by one who till that moment had never known a sorrow.

It was such a blessed, restful place—the tired heart drew a great sigh of relief, and felt half its weary load lifted off.

He seemed to have lost all that weary load of anxiety which had weighed him down during the last few months.

It sounded more slow and listless than a few minutes before, as if she were treading under the weight of a weary load.

Her head as aching with the weary load of doubt, and she tried to cheat her woe by a restless movement to the windows.
