THE SPHINX
I know all about the Sphinx—
I know even what she thinks,
Staring with her stony eyes
Up forever at the skies.
I know even what she thinks,
Staring with her stony eyes
Up forever at the skies.
For last night I dreamed that she
Told me all the mystery—
Why for æons mute she sat:—
She was just cut out for that!
Told me all the mystery—
Why for æons mute she sat:—
She was just cut out for that!
