oh, with witty words
you tell the tales of
trees and birds,
comparing them with human beings
And, how so blithe
one may be, charmed
or harmed,
speak the inspirations of heaven's grace
with obvious skill, among
the wisest to ever wield
a word,
can I ask of you, one question?
If you have all the answers,
Sir, poet of noble appeal,
why do you cloak
all the answers in riddles?
