PAIN, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Men have made them gods of love

Alternate Author Name(s): A. E.

MEN have made them gods of love,
Sun-gods, givers of the rain,
Deities of hill and grove:
I have made a god of Pain.

Of my god I know this much,
And in singing I repeat,
Though there's anguish in his touch,
Yet his soul within is sweet.
