Undir an umbir

Undir an umbir of a grete tre

I syt to pursit the grend simmetre

Twen hwat we can ken

And not hwat we ken not

So we aul steare cleare

Cotte to grev, grev to cotte,

Ane hande tyed bihind,

Ane eene tyrnid blind...

Or are they?

Our not-aye keaps peerring awaye -

Yiet we hav no no-tang to see and to saye;

We liev in the laungwedged,

The un-lengwedged's un-seen

Excepte fore thit seemingley faullible een

Whos eemagis fayl to reech our mind

And escepe anee grep like fayr Rosalind.

Thus we syt in the umbir

In unbyrabyl light

And we drem, and we drem

Till the sweven's expyr'd.
