（单词翻译:单击）

A little East of Jordan,
Evangelists record,
A Gymnast and an Angel
Did wrestle1 long and hard --

Till morning touching2 mountain --
And Jacob, waxing strong,
The Angel begged permission
To Breakfast -- to return --

Not so, said cunning Jacob!
"I will not let thee go
Except thou bless me" -- Stranger!
The which acceded3 to --

Light swung the silver fleeces
"Peniel" Hills beyond,
And the bewildered Gymnast
Found he had worsted God!
