Remorse for Intemperate Speech

REMORSE  FOR  INTEMPERATE  SPEECH

 

I ranted to the knave or fool,

But outgrew that school,

Would transform the part,

Fit audience found, but cannot rule

My fanatic heart.

 

I sought my betters: though in each

Fine manners, liberal speech,

Turn hatred into sport,

Nothing said or done can reach

My fanatic heart.

 

Out of Ireland have we come.

Great hatred, little room,

Maimed us at the start.

I carry from my mother’s womb

A fanatic heart.
