　　A Hindoo Fable - by John Godfrey Saxe

　　I

　　It was six men of Indostan

　　To learning much inclined,

　　Who went to see the Elephant

　　（Thought all of them were blind）。

　　That each by observation

　　Might satisfy his mind.

　　II The FIRST approached the Elephant

　　And happening to fall

　　Against his broad and sturdy side

　　At once began to bawl：

　　'God bless me, but the Elephant

　　Is very like a wall！'

　　III

　　The SECOND, feeling of the tusk,

　　Cried 'Ho！ What have we here

　　So very round and smooth and sharp？

　　To me 'tis mightly clear

　　This wonder of an Elephant

　　Is very like a spear.'

　　IV The THIRD approached the animal,

　　And happening to take

　　The squirming trunk within his hands,

　　Thus boldly up and spake：

　　'I see, 'quoth he, 'the Elephant

　　Is very like a snake！'

　　V The FOURTH reached out his eager hand,

　　And felt about the knee,

　　'What most this wondrous beast is like

　　Is mightly plain, 'quoth he：

　　'Tis clear enough the Elephant

　　Is very like a tree！'

　　VI The FIFTH, who chanced to touch the ear,

　　Said： 'E'en the blindest man

　　Can tell what this resembles most,

　　Deny the fact who can,

　　This marvel of an Elephant

　　Is very like a fan！'

　　VII

　　The SIXTH no sooner had begun

　　About the beast to grope,

　　Than, seizing on the swinging tail

　　That fell within his scope,

　　'I see, 'quoth he, 'the Elephant

　　Is very like a rope！'

　　VIII

　　And so these men of Indostan

　　Disputed loud and long,

　　Each in his own opinion

　　Exceeding stiff and strong.

　　Though each was partly in the right

　　And all were in the wrong.

　　IX

　　So, oft in theologic wars

　　The disputants, I ween,

　　Rail on in utter ignorance

　　Of what each other mean

　　And prate about an Elephant

　　Not one of them has seen！
