Classic Poem

Come , I will show you a thing beyond knowing,
This is the land where the Israelites fled;
No one has seen them to know of their going
Save an old man with a scar on his head.

Come, I will whisper a secret I'm keeping,
This is the land where Goliath was slain;
Down in the meadow a farmer boy sleeping
Found David's sling, and lost it again.

Come, I will sing you a song when I'm older
About a young man who was dead on a hill;
They shut up his body behind a big boulder
... I have a sign that he never lay still.
