Now list to my morning's romanza—I tell the signs of the Answerer;To the cities and farms I sing, as they spread in the sunshine before me.

A young man comes to me bearing a message from his brother;How shall the young man know the whether and when of his brother?
Tell him to send me the signs.

And I stand before the young man face to face, and take his right hand in my left hand, and his left hand in my right hand,And I answer for his brother, and for men, and I answer for him that answers for all, and send these signs.
