He Has a Gift Little Perceived -

He has a gift little perceived – 
   A mind for temperament and thoughts. 
That he is one of privilege
   Is both natural and mysterious. 

Such witchcraft to them of fright
   Puts them to good reactions – 
Harmless to a passer-by – 
   Helpful to a set of events. 

It was taught by a Master – 
   His mind is only existence. 
We walk about – caught unawares – 
   Then he finishes my sentence

And with the magic he has –
   He twists the day as we go. 
For that I could kiss his head – 
   It impresses me so.
