TO SCIENCE by LUCRETIA MARIA DAVIDSON

First Line: LET OTHERS IN FALSE PLEASURE'S COURT BE FOUND
Last Line: AND BE THE GIFT OF LEARNING EVER MINE.
Subject(s): KNOWLEDGE; SCIENCE; SCIENTISTS;
Let others in false Pleasure's court be found,
But may I ne'er be whirled the giddy round;
Let me ascend with Genius' rapid flight,
Till the fair hill of Science meets my sight.
Blest with a pilot who my feet will guide,
Direct my way, whene'er I step aside;
May one bright ray of Science on me shine,
And be the gift of learning ever mine.
