First Line: Yes, there is one thing braver than all flowers
Last Line: And thy name, lovely one, is ignorance.
Subject(s): Ignorance
Yes, there is one thing braver than all flowers;
Richer than clear gems; wider than the sky;
Immortal and unchangeable; whose powers
Transcend reason, love and sanity!
And thou, beloved, art that godly thing!
Marvelous and terrible; in glance
An injured Juno roused against Heaven's King!
And thy name, lovely One, is Ignorance.
