REPULSE
Nobody cares when I am glad,I beat upon their hearts in glee,"Drink, drink joy's brimming cup with me,"All echoless, my ecstasy—Nobody cares when I am glad.
Nobody cares when I am sad,Whene'er I seek compassion's breast,I falter wounded from my questBack! back into my heart, sore prest—Nobody cares when I am sad.
