THE SCHOLAR by ANNETTE WYNNE

First Line: WHEN I WAS IGNORANT AND SMALL
Last Line: I KEEP MY EYES TIGHT ON MY BOOK.
Subject(s): BOOKS; CHILDHOOD MEMORIES; EDUCATION; JANUARY; SCHOLARSHIP & SCHOLARS; READING;

WHEN I was ignorant and small
I used to have great fun all day,
But now that I am wise and tall
I must pretend I never play;
And so whenever people look
I keep my eyes tight on my book.
