The Answer

Title:     The Answer
Author: Frank Oliver Call [More Titles by Call]

Why do I lie upon the ground
And listen to the silver sound
Of water flowing from a spring?
It sings a song I cannot sing.

Why am I gazing at the sky
To watch the clouds go trailing by?
--Pearl ships upon a sapphire sea--
They seek a land unknown to me.

Why do I listen to the song
Of pine-boughs singing all day long?
The secret that their songs unfold
Ten thousand bards have left untold.

[The end]
