A Question

O YE Wise of the Earth, are ye wise?
  "We can tell from a bone," ye say,
"An animal's shape and size,
  And the size and shape of its prey."—
"For such and such joint," say ye,
5
"For such and such use must be."
When I show that since time began
  The soul hath longed for the skies,
Ye say, "Death is the end of Man."—
  O ye Wise of the Earth, are ye wise?
