Дом на холме

Some are the brothers of all humankind,

And own them, whatsoever their estate;

And some, for sorrow and self-scorn, are blind

With enmity for man's unguarded fate.

For some there is a music all day long

Like flutes in Paradise, they are so glad;

And there is hell's eternal under-song

Of curses and the cries of men gone mad.

Some say the Scheme with love stands luminous,

Some say't were better back to chaos hurled;

And so't is what we are that makes for us

The measure and the meaning of the world.
