A SPIRIT APPEARED TO ME
A Spirit appeared to me, and said
“Where now would you choose to dwell?
In the Paradise of the Fool,
Or in wise Solomon's hell?”
“Where now would you choose to dwell?
In the Paradise of the Fool,
Or in wise Solomon's hell?”
Never he asked me twice:
“Give me the fool's Paradise.”
“Give me the fool's Paradise.”
