The Statue
On a stone chair in the market-place
Sits a stone gentleman with a stone face.
He is great, he is good, he is old as old
How many years I've not been told
Great things he did a great while ago,
And what they were I do not know.
But solemn and sad is his great square face
As he sits high up on his square stone base
Day after day he sits just so,
With some words in a foreign tongue below
Whether the wind blows warm or cold,
His stone clothes alter never a fold.
One stone hand he rests on his knee;
With the other stone hand he points at me.
Oh, why does he look at me in just that way?
I'm afraid to go, and afraid to stay:
Stone gentleman, what have you got to say?
