The brain is wider than the sky,
- The brain is wider than the sky,
- For, put them side by side,
- The one the other will include
- With ease, and you beside.
- The brain is deeper than the sea,
- For, hold them, blue to blue,
- The one the other will absorb,
- As sponges, buckets do.
- The brain is just the weight of God,
- For, lift them, pound for pound,
- And they will differ, if they do,
- As syllable from sound.
