Where Are They

Title:     Where Are They
Author: Lemuel K. Washburn [More Titles by Washburn]

Where are the sons of gods that loved the daughters of men?

Where are the nymphs, the goddesses of the winds and waters?

Where are the gnomes that lived inside the earth?

Where are the goblins that used to play tricks on mortals?

Where are the fairies that could blight or bless the human heart?

Where are the ghosts that haunted this globe?

Where are the witches that flew in and out of the homes of men?

Where is the devil that once roamed over the earth?

Where are they? Gone with the ignorance that believed in them.

---------------

No man was ever yet canonized for minding his own business.

---------------

No man was ever yet sorry to find that he had married a good cook.
