They being dumb. What then?

You have no sympathy? O endless claim!

No one that cares? What then?

Suppose you had—the whole world knew your name

And your affairs, and men

Ached with your headache, dreamed your dreadful dreams,

And, with your heart-break due,

Their hearts broke too. What then?

You think that people do not understand?

You suffer? Die? What then?
