What is this madness
that dwells within the
heart of men?
That God would shed
such joyless tears
for the goodness that eludes
the heart of impious men;
And for that which they have
done,
And taken from the little
ones,
That Heaven should fall
about their heads;
And truth shall raise
her sword-
The Earth to cleanse
of warlike fires that
burn towards a dark
abyss . . .
