Romantic Artists Poem : Saturn Devouring One of His Children

I fear what I spawn, so I kill what I create.
If I know one thing of my children, it is their fate.
I will eat them alive, straight from the womb.
My stomach then must become their tomb.
I must not allow my children to grow old.
For the prophecy foretells one will be bold.
And strip away my crown and place it on their head.
I will not be dethroned I will say and I have said.
