I have no reason to love mankind
Nor alas! mankind one to love me
To all its vileness I am not blind
And all vileness it well can see
If my hatred in words ne'er wreak
I know as none do ununderstood
It is of all men were I to speak
As unknown of them remain it would
So all in instinct a mutual hate
Hid under smiling we bear each other
All mankind's kindness well I can rate
And I hate each man ()
I have no reason to love mankind
Nor alas! mankind one to love me

I know as none do ununderstood
It is of all men were I to speak
As unknown of them remain it would
So all in instinct a mutual hate
Hid under smiling we bear each other
All mankind's kindness well I can rate
And I hate each man and call him brother'
