My first's last starts with S, and ends with Y,
And oddly, my last's first does too.
At the end of its last, it is sure to die,
For my last first's to rise anew.

The five between the first and last,
Are not around when I awaken.
If you think there is anything between last and first,
Alas, you are sadly mistaken.

My first's last, last is at my last's first last!
And last of the five between,
By the time you are through the last first,
The first last will have been!

So, now, tell the answer to this rhyme;
Come on, come on, it is about time!
If you think hard, it won't be long -
'Til I won't have to speak in song.
