a thousand secrets known to me.
so few mine own to prove.
but keep them hidden
in my heart;
mountains,
mine to move...
for no one's eyes
and no one's praise
this prescience comes to me.
so very rarely i disclose
what in my mind
i see.
but like a dream,
tormented by
or visions in the night;
they come unbidden
unto me,
my wakefulness, despite.
revealing to me things to come;
which knowledge, i despise.
tomorrow, never
thing unknown...
'twere better a surprise.

Everything rhymes so exactly; and yet the thoughts are very deep. By comparison, many poems seem as though the writer were writing in some tongue foreign to him, and so the rhyme and the idea never quite match up.
