O man! Take heed!<br>What saith deep midnight's voice indeed?<br>I slept my sleep--,<br>From deepest dream I've woke, and plead: <br>The world is deep, <br>And deeper than the day could read.<br>Deep is its woe--,<br>Joy--deeper still than grief can be:<br>Woe saith: Hence! Go!<br>But joys all want eternity,<br>Want deep, profound eternity!
