Robert W Service - InnocenceRobert W Service - Innocence
Work rating: Low


The height of wisdom seems to me           That of a child; So let my ageing vision be           Serene and mild. The depth of folly, I aver,           Is to fish deep In that dark pool of science where           Truth-demons sleep.           Let me not be a bearded sage           Seeing too clear; In issues of the atom age           Man-doom I fear. So long as living`s outward show           To me is fair, What lies behind I do not know,           And do not care. Of woeful fears of future ill           That earth-folk haunt, Let me, as radiant meadow rill,           Be ignorant. Aye, though a sorry dunce I be           In learning`s school, Lord, marvellously make of me           Your Happy Fool!
