Second Sunday of Advent

"Prophecy"

Old man,
it's getting late.
Dream your dream,
and tell me what you see.
Do you see the child playing
by the cobra's den?
Is the lion eating straw
like an ox?
Can it be that the wolf and the lamb
are living together as friends?
Tell me, old man,
is it true?
Are there no more swords
in the world?
