The Sphinx Of Memphis (Refrain Stanza) Poem by Gert Strydom

(in answer to Totius)

The sphinx I did behold
and where it does observe the world it is old,
I saw a heathen wicked god smile,
about its hidden secret power I thought for a while,
did not trust the tranquillity that of that beast is told
and nothing did its evil reveal to me
where it stares into eternity,
but I did not like that thing which stares so bold
and where it does observe the world it is old.
