THE SPHINX. TH HE Sphinx is drowsy, Her wings are furled ; Her ear is heavy, She broods on the world. · Who'll tell me my secret, The ages have kept ?I awaited the seer While they slumbered and slept: “ The fate of the man-child, The meaning of man; Dædalian plan; Out of waking a sleep; Deep underneath deep ? “Erect as a sunbeam, Upspringeth the palm ; The elephant browses, Undaunted and calm ; In beautiful motion The thrush plies his wings : Kind leaves of his covert, Your silence he sings. |
