Time to ask questions

MANIA OF DOUBT

All things unto me are queries

That from normalness depart,

And their ceaseless asking wearies

My heart.

Things are and seem, and nothing bears

The secret of the life it wears.

All things’ presence e’er is asking

Questions of disturbing pain

With dreadful hesitation tasking

My brain.
