In vain is thine effort try to see Your blood is boiling merely at thought For you might see the greatest fear Of such greatness it is! Hast thou yet realized, flea? Still you are not even near And you are shivering in the cruelest panic Of such greatness it is! As you seek I tell you this That the splendid beauty would burn your appearance And more than sweet I say He is Such is your disgust that you drown in His fragrance In vain is thine effort, try to see Your endeavor serves for naught Even those words are unworthy to His ear Of such greatness it is! Hast thou yet realized, flea? In comparison you are not even mere And you could not bear the unbearable malice Of such greatness it is!
