The Dawn
| I Would be ignorant as the dawn | | That has looked down | | On that old queen measuring a town | | With the
pin of a brooch, | | Or on the withered men that saw | | From their pedantic Babylon | | The careless planets in
their courses, | | The stars fade out where the moon comes, | | And took their tablets and did sums; | | I would
be ignorant as the dawn | | That merely stood, rocking the glittering coach | | Above the cloudy shoulders of
the horses; | | I would be—for no knowledge is worth a straw— | | Ignorant and wanton as the dawn. |
