Rh Foolish people used to say that there was, but you have taught us better.

Go to your mother, go&mdash;yet do not go.

What can she say? If I am dumb you are lost;

And yet, because the sands are running out,

I have but a moment to show it all in. Children,

Being the fingers of God's certainty,

Yet can but make their sign into the air;

But could they find their tongues they'd show it all;
