WHO CAN SUCK THE
VENOM OF MY UNTOLD AGONY?
O God! Whose Pain-Cases
are free enough,
To accommodate my
petty Pebbles of Sorrow?
For whom am I trust-worthy
enough,
So that an ounce
of Reliance I can borrow?
O God! Whose Sponge-Masses
of Smiles are dry enough,
To soak and
absorb my floods of my bitter, unseen Tears?
Whose Orchards of
Charity are wealthy enough,
So that I can be
lent a few hunger mitigating, sweet Pears?
O God! Whose Heart-
Beds are spacious enough,
To allow me a
little room for a moment’s Solace?
Who is, like You,
so much kind and close enough,
To ignore my
frailties; hug me tight and embrace?
But, O God! Where
is the need to expect anything from any?
For, who can,
except You, suck the Venom of my untold Agony?
