The Sphinx

Title:     The Sphinx
Author: James Whitcomb Riley [More Titles by Riley]

I know all about the Sphinx--
I know even what she thinks,
Staring with her stony eyes
Up forever at the skies.

For last night I dreamed that she
Told me all the mystery--
Why for aeons mute she sat--:
She was just cut out for that!

[The end]
James Whitcomb Riley's poem: Sphinx
