Illusion Ridden Genius
Illusion ridden genius,
Stay.
Yea stay again.
Your mind is mussed and tattered;
Your thoughts do naught but swim.
Illusion ridden genius,
Be still
A little longer.
Hear, for once, and listen;
Hear and only ponder.
Illusion ridden genius,
Speak not;
You speak too oft'.
Stay, and only listen;
Let my words ring soft.
Illusion ridden genius,
Now you know the truth,
For through list'ning you have found it;
You've attained a higher proof.
Illusion ridden genius,
Before, you knew it not:
That the mind is stirred more soundly,
When the mouth remains more shut.
