Carl Sandburg - Gypsy
Work rating: Medium

I asked a gypsy pal 
To imitate an old image 
And speak old wisdom. 
She drew in her chin, 
Made her neck and head 
The top piece of a Nile obelisk 
     and said: 
Snatch off the gag from thy mouth, child, 
And be free to keep silence. 
Tell no man anything for no man listens, 
Yet hold thy lips ready to speak.
