What magic spell or mystic charm
That option earns for good or harm
Exists within this cloud of doubt
I’d rather pass and bide without?
This query waits alone and faint
With purpose hid and calm restraint
Each choice within the human font
There in the balance finds the want.
I’m lost, I can’t remember why,
What source of rule should here apply?
There dwells no vision in my mind,
No sense of meaning can I find.
One answer clear I fail to see
I seek not what my fate will be.
