Oye Wise of the Earth, are ye wise?
?‘We can tell from a bone,’ ye say,
‘An animal's shape and size,
?And the size and shape of its prey.’—
‘For such and such joint,’ say ye,
?‘For such and such use must be.’
When I show that since time began
?The soul hath longed for the skies,
Ye say, ‘Death is the end of Man.’—
?Oye Wise of the Earth, are ye wise?
