How much the quantum of virtue
Measured in coins in euros and dollars
Or else in topazes and quartzes
I wonder.
How much the quantum of the shout
That king Menelek shouted
Shouted fore a crowd
Of wondering subjects:
I wonder.
How much the quantum of the roar
That comes every time
The seas enter the wild deep valley
Of giddying grey linear heights
Down down to sea
I wonder.
