Long lost the wonder
Of magic in the unknown
Explained away, theories, facts,
Endless data dulls the soul

Or is there beauty
In what is seen
Observed and understood
A puzzle, when complete.

Long gone Romantic days
Nature, poetry, the same
Humboldt, Darwin and Thoreau
Something lost on me and you

And yet the elegance of Mawell
Feynman inspires
Perhaps they can grant
The feeling I desire

So science please still stir
Some feeling, emotion, awe
In heart and mind
With each new law.
