THE HAPPY MAN

Оглавление

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.
