Today the archeologists of the soul
Reported the appearance of a pelican
In our winter desert and two black swans
Landing in a northern lake in snow
And then the excavation of a tomb
Of Egyptian priests who must
Have talked to Moses or to Plato
But most mysterious of all
The relic of a buck-toothed toucan
In Bavaria proving similar conditions
In different times and places yield
The same inevitable results but still
They haven't unearthed the soul
That most elusive find of all
