KNOWLEDGE

KNOWLEDGE

Eleanor Farjeon

Your  mind is  a  meadow

To plant for  your needs

Your are the farmer

With knowledge of seeds ,

Don’t leave your meadow

Unplanted and bare ,

Sow it with knowledge

And tend it with care .

Who ‘d be a know – nothing

When he  might  grow

The seeds of know ledge

Of  stars and snow ,

The  science  of numbers ,

The stories of time ,

The magic  of music .

The  secrets of  rhyme ?

Don’t  be a  know- nothing !

Plant in the  spring ,

And see what harvest 

The summer will bring .
