TO SCIENCE, by LUCRETIA MARIA DAVIDSON First Line: Let others in false pleasure's court be found Last Line: And be the gift of learning ever mine. Subject(s): Knowledge; Science; Scientists | ||||||||
Let others in false Pleasure's court be found, But may I ne'er be whirled the giddy round; Let me ascend with Genius' rapid flight, Till the fair hill of Science meets my sight. Blest with a pilot who my feet will guide, Direct my way, whene'er I step aside; May one bright ray of Science on me shine, And be the gift of learning ever mine. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...REACTIONARY ESSAY ON APPLIED SCIENCE by PHYLLIS MCGINLEY THE POLITICIAN OF THE IRISH EARLDOM by HILAIRE BELLOC AN AMERICAN SCENE by NORMAN DUBIE WHY WAIT FOR SCIENCE by ROBERT FROST DIXIT INSIPIENS by CAROLYN KIZER GLOBULE by ALICIA SUSKIN OSTRIKER A DREAM by LUCRETIA MARIA DAVIDSON |
