He found the answers in a book
And knew their truth
From the environment’s look.

The rules and the mysteries
Secrets all,
But plain as day the truth did call.

In centuries past he suffered most
From lack of knowledge,
Became a ghost.

But never again would he fall
The truth did sing
And he followed the call.

To search in cranny,
Trunk and nook
He took a very careful look.

The steady stare,
The secret is bare,
He holds a power beyond compare.

His buried might
Now comes to light,
To push away the endless night.

He sought them
With an urgent look,
And found the answers in a book.
