Seek Wisdom
Wherever you find it.
Pluck it from every Tree!
For the Earth is starving for Wisdom
Our Minds are too loud you see:
Spurn not Knowledge that is old,
Nor Wisdom that is young;
Brand new songs can still be
learned from
The oldest ever sung.
Yet old songs need the newer beat
And Wisdom Knowledge new
To brighten up the dying flame
Into the Fire that Grew.
When Man is novaed from himself
And more a god than Man
He'll still be needing of the first
Wisdom ever planned.
