I know all about the Sphinx-- <br />I know even what she thinks, <br />Staring with her stony eyes <br />Up forever at the skies. <br /> <br />For last night I dreamed that she <br />Told me all the mystery-- <br />Why for aeons mute she sat--: <br />She was just cut out for that!<br /><br />James Whitcomb Riley<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-sphinx-5/
