Edith Nesbit - The Tree Of KnowledgeEdith Nesbit - The Tree Of Knowledge
Work rating: Low


I PLUCKED the blossoms of delight In many a wood and many a field, I made a garland fair and bright As any gardens yield. But when I sought the living tree To make new earth and Heaven new, I found--alas for you and me-- Its roots were set in you. Oh, dear my garden, where the fruit Of lovely knowledge sweetly springs, How jealously you guard the root Of all enlightening things!
