THREE POEMS

   SIR ISAAC NEWTON
       (1642-1727)
An apple fell in England
And Revelation spread
Its haughty, secret sunlight
Within a bachelor's head.
The Abstract humbly rested
In symbol round and red.

Strong Force exerted pull
On him who clearly saw.
Unloosened from the stem
Of Nature-the heedless Awe-
The fruit and farmer's son
Were subjects of one Law.
