First Line: I went to school with the tutor, law
Last Line: Could never reveal to me.
Subject(s): Law & Lawyers; Love; Teaching & Teachers
I went to school with the tutor, Law,
A master severe and grim,
Who taught by the pain of the biting cane—
Yet learned I little of him.
I go to school with the teacher, Love,
And my lightened eyes can see
What the pain and the tears of the driven years
Could never reveal to me.
