Alternate Author Name(s): Watson, John William

I THINK that notwithstanding all he knows,
The wonder of the sweetness of a rose,
The wonder of the wild heart of a song,
Shall shame man's foolish wisdom to the close.
The secrets of the gods are from of old
Guarded for ever and for ever told, --
Blabbed in all ears, but published in a tongue
Whose meaning the gods only can unfold.
