A poem praising Prometheus

Prometheus

Giant! In your immortal eyes,

The pain of the world

These are all kinds of sad facts,

It should not be despised and ignored by the gods;

But what's the reward for your compassion?

What condenses my heart is silent pain;

Facing rocks, hungry eagles and chains,

It is the pain that proud people feel;

And the sadness he didn't want to talk about,

The bitter feeling in my chest,

It can only talk in loneliness,

And when you talk, you have to be on guard.

Who can hear in the sky, let alone sigh,

Unless it doesn't reply.

Poems by Byron, an English romantic poet.
