THE RIOT

YOU may think my life is quiet. I find it full of change, An ever-varied diet, As piquant¹ as 'tis strange.

Wild thoughts are always flying, Like sparks across my brain, Now flashing out, now dying, To kindle² soon again.

Fine fancies set me thrilling, And subtle monsters creep Before my sight unwilling³： They even haunt my sleep.

One broad, perpetual riot Enfolds me night and day. You think my life is quiet？ You don't know what you say.
