MEN have made them gods of love, <br />Sun-gods, givers of the rain, <br />Deities of hill and grove: <br />I have made a god of Pain. <br /> <br /> <br />Of my god I know this much, <br />And in singing I repeat, <br />Though there's anguish in his touch, <br />Yet his soul within is sweet.<br /><br />George William Russell<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/pain-731/
