THE HAPPY MAN

To teach the grey earth like a child,

To bid the heavens repent,

I only ask from Fate the gift

Of one man well content.

Him will I find: though when in vain

I search the feast and mart,

The fading flowers of liberty,

The painted masks of art.

I only find him at the last,

On one old hill where nod

Golgotha’s ghastly trinity—

Three persons and one god.
