I would be ignorant as the dawn

that has looked down

on that old queen measuring a twon

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 look 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 traw

Ignorant and wanton as the dawn.
