I can wade grief,
Whole pools of it, —
I ‘m used to that.
But the least push of joy
Breaks up my feet,
And I tip — drunken.
Let no pebble smile,
‘T was the new liquor, —
That was all!
Power is only pain,
Stranded, through discipline,
Till weights will hang.
Give balm to giants,
And they ‘ll wilt, like men.
Give Himmaleh, —
They ‘ll carry him!
