What stranc c little man can this be,
so weird and so wizened and wise:
What mystical things has he seen
With those wide open wondering eyes:
What treasures untold, from what lands,
DO mis- soft baby fingers enfold!
What word does he bring from afar,
This stranger so young, yet 80 old:
Does he bring up some messageifrom spheres
Unheard of, from worlds We know not
Starry countri S we dwell In, mayhap,
AS babies, and now have forgot?
Who can tell what he knows, what he thinks
He SAYS not word bit ne looks.
In minute, more wisdom, I'll swear,
Than is shut in the biggest of books.
