Can hope be distilled from wormwood?

Merry-meloncholy heart’s psalter-
song-singing irony--
Bitter-sweet songs like pale waters
still running violently--
Running along Jerusalem’s plains.

And the blood, the blood, oh how it stains!
Running along Jerusalem’s plains.
Now a flood! a flood! in full refrain,
Covering all Jerusalem's plains.
