I’m curious, the truth behind
What’s seen and what’s real —
I wonder if we’ll be moved
When all’s at last revealed;
To think, the little hills upon which
We stand with vigor and fight —
That what we see as vital, could be
(For weighty matters) rather light.
I anticipate a shock when
The vail lifts from my face;
As I chime into the murmur,
Who would have guessed that it was this?
