Another Song of a Fool
This great purple butterfly, | In the prison of my hands, | Has a learning in his eye | Not a poor fool understands. | | | | | Once he lived a schoolmaster | With a stark, denying look; | A string of scholars went in fear | Of his great
birch and his great book. | | | | | Like the clangour of a bell, | Sweet and harsh, harsh and sweet, | That is how he
learnt so well | To take the roses for his meat. |
