SCIENCE
Science, thou daughter of untrammeled 'thoughts,
Child of fearless searching for the truth,
Fair with the beauty of perennial youth,
For thee have earth’s best heroes strongly wrought,
Builded eternal temples, dearly bought
With vigil and with blood—nor sought 'the truth
Nor praise of men—from cults and forms uncouth
The grains of truth their patient hand had sought.
Glorious is the mead thou dost bestow
Upon the worker—through him to 'the world.
Thou placest his hand upon the cadent flow
That swells the world pulse. To him is unfurled
The never-retreating standard moving on,
Leading the marshalled ages to the dawn.
