[Divide, combine, search, sift, and pry]
Divide, combine, search, sift, and pry;Retort and microscope apply;
Light, Sound, Electric Force, explain;
The Earth, the Sun, the Blood, the Brain,
All's thus and thus. But now declare
Why things are right, and things are fair;
What's Duty? Beauty? tell us whence
Are Love, Truth, Hope, and Reverence?
But stay!—hast thou this last? If not,
Though thou could'st make the cold sea hot,
In flying chariot Sirius reach,
Full little could'st thou learn or teach.
