WE stand beneath a lintel shining new, And shy of the intrusion rudely wrought Of our imperfect knowledge, race for truth. Before we lift the knocker, let us pause- Do we go through this door as conquerors, Or meekly tread where yet we count but small::> For years unnumbered, men have sat and thought Upon some venture just achieved, perhaps The pyramid , the phial of radium And here below our necessary Iives We lead, while sparing little precious time To wonder at mankind's accomplishments. We throng the mart of striving business , catch 'Our buses, laugh , complain , and daily want A different clime for every half a street. So while the few, in steel and gases clad, Expectant stride to' Iight with lamps the dark, Let us, whose feet ourselves we cannot lift Among the spheres, walk carefully and make This path the better for our wa lking it. The atom split ; yet have for centuries The mighty stars roll-ed on unerringly- The sun to us j·ust merely rose and set.
