Fate!
Fate can be a trap in our path
The bitter cup of your tears
Your wine of wrath!

Fate can be shade of the desert blaze
Sudden food in a famine found
The sound of praise!
Incomprehensible and strange
Fate can play a trick with the twine
To weave the evil and good
In one design!

And so, my Destiny
I look at you and cannot see
Is it good, is it ill?
Am I blessed, am I cursed?
Is it honey on my tongue or brine?
What fate, what fate is mine?
