The sun is rising and the species wakes.
The valley of the shadow falls away.
Fine people are appearing everywhere,
With minds alert and prospects fair - there where
Science its might flag unfurls flapping
In the morning air. Empirical and
Corroborated, its quest it follows
Ever closer to the approximate Truth -
That Truth which is the bread of life for all.
Encourage them; stand and praise all those who
Dare the stars to question far and near with
Microscopes and telescopes, electron
Probes and radio till cancer yields and
Sickness flees - blessings for the multitudes.
The sun is rising and the species wakes.
