Learning that from which is taught,
expanding minds, from that which is sought,
teaching that from which they hope,
giving ignorance, desperately trying to cope,
wondering youths eager and caught, [5]
sitting patiently, never seeking to halt,
closing eyes and letting them sleep.
Losing interest, this illusion cannot keep
finding things to distract the mind
standing alone at the fountains side [10]
slipping suddenly so steadily steep
words wanting in wisdom weep
forgetful of them that sought to teach
ignorance in place much easier a reach.
