Thy task unfinished—so was I bom mad;

So was my perfect soul a bondsman made

To serve vile lusts of my imperfect brain.

Hast Thou to-day remembered Thy mistake?

This mom I wakened, found that I was sane,

Beheld the East as no unchartered dread

Threat'ning the world with universal fire,

But as Thy kindness held aloft for men;

Then craned I forth my hands to dutch Thy winds,

Nor shrank from them as fore-runners of Death.
