Scholars
Walter de la Mare
Logic does well at school;
And Reason answers every question right;
Poll-parrot Memory unwinds her spool;
And Copy-Cat keeps Teacher well in sight:
The Heart's a truant; nothing does by rule;
Safe in its wisdom, is taken for a fool;
Nods through the morning on the dunce's stool;
And wakes to dream all night.
