THE HOUR-GLASS
I want to know if you believe in Heaven,
God or the soul—no, do not tell me yet;
You need not be afraid I shall be, angry,
Say what you please—so that it is your thought—
I wanted you to know before you spoke,
That I shall not be angry.
First child
We have not forgotten, Father.
Second Child
Oh no, Father.
Both Children
(As if repeating a lesson) There is nothing we cannot see, nothing we cannot touch.
