THE WIZARD.

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

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?
