God—is just:
Grass unto dust,
Rivers run dry,
Cripples' sore cry,

Viper and vandal,
Pestilence, hunger,
Scrofula, scandal,
Hailstorm and thunder.

Word in derision.
Year of perdition.
Tsar in his prison.
Mob that has risen.

29 April 1918

(NB! Obviously, one should read: God is nonetheless just, just—notwithstanding.)
