Blok A. My half-lifes on the swing...

My half-life’s on the swing,
The days both dull and wild:
One day I’d revel, mild,
The next one I’d weep and sing.

What if destruction lies ahead?
What if behind me, untold,
His hand – with its unfathomed hold
As mirror covering – is spread?..

When it reflects in my turn,
Then, horror-struck, orbs closed tight,
I’ll depart to realm of night,
From where one does not return.
