Villanelle


The world is sadness Over things unseen we are stumbling In everything there is madness Though we have success We get the feeling The world is sadness In all this hopelessness We comprehend nothing In everything there is madness All the things we witness We sit quivering The world is sadness Happiness is regardless We are raging In everything there is madness In all this stillness We are from this world, parting The world is sadness In everything there is madness
