Is there a beginning to the end?
Is there a beginning to the end? Or an end to the beginning?
Is there a vehement storm to the end, or a thunderous rain to the beginning?
All so upset on a uproar, all so upheaved well?
Or to mention so on hatred, in oh depths all swell?
All so go to ruin, ruin, not a trace to keep?
And so start to mount a mount, all awhile to heap?
Cuckoos all, they fly to feed, their own young ones so right?
Or to see on lazy glance the young ones all fed oh bright?
Earth so quakes all shudder so shudder all the Earth so lose?
Or all foes of mankind lost, what for us to lose?
Where we go to the shining depths, depths no end to mark?
Where all thrills so heaped so heaped there's no, no remark?
Is there a beginning to the end? Or an end to the beginning?
Is there a vehement storm to the end, or a thunderous rain to the beginning?
