It reuolts, that heart, Bound loreuer to lieht and die Painfully. But what does it intpart Into the stubborn r;tinds ol all wbo are ignorant? Those aiolet eyes-fiery-dilating To exhibit tbe uhite, insane rings \Y/hicb encircle those pi.ts ol utter madness-horcifying! Yet beritage bas bestowed sorne rnercy. Loae! Tbat loue so stlong As to commit itsell to gross torture. Curs! Tbose knaues, whicb gush in a throng To torrnent tbat haro"ssed soul. Exile! Yes, euen lront sanity Is that heart pounded by destructiae deeds. Deeds unworthy of uild beasts-only hurnanity Stoops so low. With teruor that rebuked heart accepts its traeic fate. But now, be stands-so proud- Cast out ol life's wbite loam of abhorrence. That brown turbid sea ol hate acts not as his shrouri, But of those wbose coftupt hearts haue lasbed him to de spair. The wind shrieks and suearns with disgust, 'Vhippins and lashing its slaae clouds. That salt spray beats at his being-brown with rust- But he wheels with deal ear-OIJTCAST.
