The Search of a Scientist (1-Feb-1895)

This is one of my earliest efforts and since I have always fancied myself a science I have always like the sentiment expressed here. It is one of those poems where there is not any deep meaning...it says what it says.

The Search of a Scientist


Climb Climb
Struggle;
Heave Heave
Ho.
There!
A glimmer!
Is it?
Yes, Yes.
I've found it!
It's beautiful.
I will put it in my pocket and
Keep it for my own.
Now I will go out again.
Look Look
Listen;
Think Think
Wait.
Until my pains become fruitful and
I find more of my treasure:
Knowledge.
