RAGE
I feel a rage - ay, a rage!
At time that passes, passes away,
A thirst of life nought can assuage,
An anger that nothing can stay.
And every hour that passes by
And merges into night a day
Makes, when I think, my soul to cry:
«Torture eternal, torture without end!
All days pass and not a deed!
A desire strong as a greed
By an ill of will - oh, misery!
To be a dream of pain condemned!»
I feel a rage! 'tis to feel
Mystery and sadness at one time,
Till the maddened brain doth reel,
Looking on that bodiless curse.
The passing of the world, as one
Paralytic at a deed of blood
Which he hath no power to avert.
I feel a stranger before the sun,
A weeper before field and flood,
A cynic before dirt,
A revolt before God.
At time that passes, passes away,
A thirst of life nought can assuage,
An anger that nothing can stay.

A weeper before field and flood,

A revolt before God.
