Break, break and let me break myself <br />From this cycle of ages and night <br />Let me trade with the dust of eternal time <br />These sparks and hours of glory; <br /> <br />Break, break and let me break myself <br />From these chains of heart and reason <br />Let them melt in the fire of darkness and death <br />These dreams and sorrows of life; <br /> <br />Break, break and let me break myself <br />From the pain of life and death <br />Let me dip in the stream of salvation <br />The garb of life of this walking soul; <br /> <br />Break, break and let me break <br />These tools of mindless fancy <br />Let me trade with drops of wisdom <br />These words of verse for fame; <br /> <br />Break, break and let me break <br />From the clutches of anguish this red badge <br />Let me leave this blind pursuit of glory and fame <br />For one valiant death in a worthless war.<br /><br />Abhay Vignesh Liginlal<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-bleeding-soul-on-a-looking-glass/
