The Seer Of Hearts

Topics: classic

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.
