"I sit by the roadside wells of knowledge;

I haunt the streams of the springs of thought;

But because my voice is the voice of silence,

The heart within thee regardeth not.

"Yet I await thee, assured, unimpatient,

Till thy small tumult of striving be past.

How long, O wanderer, wilt thou a-weary,

Keep thee afar from my arms at the last?"

II

Wanderer, wanderer, whither away?
