Knowledge, they say, drives wonder

1 Knowledge, they say, drives wonder from the world;
they say it still, though all the dust's ablaze
with marvels at their feet, while Newton's laws
foretell that knowledge one day shall be song.

2 We seem like children wandering by the shore,
gathering pebbles colored by the wave;
while the great sea of truth, from sky to sky
stretches before us, boundless unexplored.
