Poem by Stephen Crane

* * *

   ”And the sins of the fathers shall be
    visited upon the heads of the children,
    even unto the third and fourth
    generation of them that hate me.”

Well, then I hate thee, unrighteous picture;
Wicked image, I hate thee;
So, strike with thy vengeance
The heads of those little men
Who come blindly.
It will be a brave thing.

1. A spirit sped
2. On the horizon the peaks assembled
3. "Think as I think," said a man
4. Walking in the sky
5. Many workmen
