And knew no more till I fell right here;

But how I became so like a feather

Is problem I can unravel never.

"But, oh, how the sun begins to burn!

I think I must to the clouds return.

Farewell, my boy! but you must not fret;

We meet again, as we now have met,

If not as a feather, perhaps a tree,

Or whatever the Wise One may make of me."
