WHY?
The great archer above the sky
Pierced our hearts, we know not why.
Why should this one be sorely tried?
That one be wounded in his pride?
The happy and the good provoke
The ire of all the other folk;
And so the Archer, to appease
This envy and such hearts release,
Sends trouble to the innocent:
They pay the price of mal-content.
Pierced our hearts, we know not why.
Why should this one be sorely tried?
That one be wounded in his pride?
The happy and the good provoke
The ire of all the other folk;
And so the Archer, to appease
This envy and such hearts release,
Sends trouble to the innocent:
They pay the price of mal-content.
