The Fox And Huntsman.

A poem by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Hard 'tis on a fox's traces

To arrive, midst forest-glades;
Hopeless utterly the chase is,

If his flight the huntsman aids.

And so 'tis with many a wonder,


(Why A B make Ab in fact,)
Over which we gape and blunder,

And our head and brains distract.
