Forth Went The Candid Man

Title:     Forth Went The Candid Man
Author: Stephen Crane [More Titles by Crane]

Forth went the candid man
And spoke freely to the wind--
When he looked about him he was in a far strange country.

Forth went the candid man
And spoke freely to the stars--
Yellow light tore sight from his eye.

"My good fool," said a learned bystander,
"Your operations are mad."

"You are too candid," cried the candid man.
And when his stick left the head of the learned bystander
It was two sticks.

[The end]
Stephen Crane's poem: Forth Went The Candid Man
