Source: Poetical Works: With a Memoir by James L. Hannay and Copious Notes by W. Tooke
“Fool brother Filip led blind brother Daret
deep into the black cave.
He knew that inside it, the Queen Crab resided
but that didn’t scare him away.
Said blind brother Daret to fool brother Filip,
does Queen Crab no longer reign?
I have heard she is vicious, and likes to eat fishes.
It’s best we avoid her domain.
Answered fool Filip to his brother small,
have I not always kept you safe?
I know what I’m doing, for I’m older than you,
and I’ll never lead you astray.”

“Fool I was
Fool I was to love my own reflection,
rather then Your beauty.
Fool I was to search for silver,
when You are gold.
Fool I was to think my heart belonged to another, the very heart You made
Fool I was for turning away from You,
when You are always present.
Fool I was worshiping the creation,
and not the Creator.
Fool I was forgetting Your name,
when You gave me mine.
Fool I was living in darkness,
though You are the light.
Fool I was rotting away my tongue,
the tongue made to praise You.
Fool I was worrying about tomorrow,
though my whole life is in Your hands.
Fool I was for lying,
because You reveal every truth.
Fool I was when I went into hiding,
and You searched every corner
until You found me crying, dirty, broken, restless, hungry, and resentful.
But You did not discard me.
You took this fool and dried his tears, cleaned his soul, pieced him together, laid him down in a green pasture, nourished his body and forgave him.
Fool I was”
