MISERY IS MYSTERY.
- MISERY his heart hath broken—
- Misery is mystery!
- Let the sad one lonely be;
- As the Ancients shunned the token
- Of a lightning‐blasted tree.
I.
- Breathe no word, his doom is spoken—
- Misery is mystery mistery !
- By its scathing lightning fated,
- Human hearts are consecrated,
- For a higher destiny.
