\Wisdom came where I was seated
By the boards of reed and sand;
His talk was long and when completed
Walked he steady towards the land.
I gathered up the rod, the reel
Fetched the fly, closed the box,
A shift of breeze I did feel
While laboring ‘way from the docks.
I walked past Young, with his bride,
Whose nod of head I denied
O picture me not full of woe -
You think I leave; instead, I go.
