Death offering to the Manes of Michaelis
Burger II 219.
Try to rhyme
Out of time:
All your pain
Is in vain.
Try to write
Late at night
Wearied, flurried
Chill'd & hurried
Better better
Burn the letter
The struggle is at hand
Between the mail-clad spirit of the world
(Ignorance, tyranny & barbarous fear)
And that of naked liberty, who stands
In her own natural strength, with no Allies
§ But truth & virtue – If not quite I feel a shock
While I anticipate the dread event
I Yet I I not despair – I have high hopes of man
Strong confidence in heaven & a good cause.
