THE PROPHET.
THE prophet said: ‘All mysteries
Unto me are displayed,
Yet not the Eagle's way in air
Or a man's who woos a maid!
Unto me are displayed,
Yet not the Eagle's way in air
Or a man's who woos a maid!
Then I said to myself, ‘I soon will solve
This subtle mystery;’
So I asked the man and the maid, but they
Knew even less than he.
This subtle mystery;’
So I asked the man and the maid, but they
Knew even less than he.
