THE MYSTERY, by                    
First Line: I know I am a mystery / a mystery for sure
Last Line: Nor do I find a cure.
Subject(s): Doubt; Mystery; Skepticism


I know I am a mystery,
A mystery for sure;
I do not know myself at all,
Nor do I find a cure.

Oh! love I him, or love I not
I'm sure I do not know;
Sometimes I surely think I do,
Then sure it can't be so.

I am most certain of my doubts,
Of faith uncertain be;
What chance may bring I cannot tell --
What fate's awaiting me.

I know my mind uncertain is,
It wavers to and fro;
Sometimes I think I should accept,
But yet I answer, "No."

With certainty I hesitate,
Am clear I do not see;
And so I go on wondering
What will my future be?

You see I am a mystery,
A mystery for sure;
I do not know myself at all,
Nor do I find a cure.
