For mocking on men's faces / He only sees instead / The hidden, hundred traces / Of tears their eyes have shed.
Above their lips denying, / Through all their boasting dares, / He hears the anguished crying / Of old unanswered prayers.
And through the will's reliance / He only sees aright / A frightened child's defiance / Left lonely in the night.
