THE WIZARD.

ONCE the wizard Wiswamitra

Rested, so the legend tells,

Where the river Rhine is flowing

By the crag of Drachenfels.

Then he spoke, "Thou lordly river,

I will smite thee in thy pride,

I will charm thee with my magic,

Quickly vanishes thy tide."

Still the noble river rolleth,

Rolleth onward to the sea,

But the wizard Wiswamitra

With his magic, - where is he?
