My first, in distant landsFull many a temple stands,Once builded by his hands;The marble from the mine,His hand hath caused to shineIn beauty half divine;My next in tropic landsGrows where the roving bandsRoam o’er the desert sands;My whole went forth—the world,From chaos rudely hurled,Along its orbit whirled.

My first, in distant lands

Full many a temple stands,

Once builded by his hands;

The marble from the mine,

His hand hath caused to shine

In beauty half divine;

My next in tropic lands

Grows where the roving bands

Roam o’er the desert sands;

My whole went forth—the world,

From chaos rudely hurled,

Along its orbit whirled.

I knew a man, not many years gone by,Who had ablock of timberin each eye,Without impairing, in the least, his sight,Or filling those who saw him with affright.And what was more amazing, free to roam,Fur-covered thousandsmade his head their home;Two heavy buildingsalso rested there,By them unnoticed, and no less his care.A curse upon his mealshe often had,And saw with joy it made another glad.Strangest of all, for every house he let,Ahalf a score of insectsdid beset.At length he did becomea seasoned dish,To grace a throne, which suited well his wish;And all this whilean arrow, mind, was in him,Which to the things he loved did firmly pin him.
