lyrics

Chapter 79: The Prairie

Now read the face,
See everything placed --
Rest assured,
Once inured
No doubt you will meet
Nobility steeped
In each corner, all around.

From prairie there rose
No sign of a nose,
But it's fine,
We don't mind.
It's simple and sleek,
And no one can tweak --
Even kings can't boast the same.

And oh, take note!
And oh, it's plain!
And oh, the world bespoke
In his visage just the same.

Now look at the brow,
Could heaven allow
Such a mind
Laid behind?
It's not that he writes
Or speaks to our plights,
It's the genius of his life.
