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.
