Michael Kahn

Ode To Sir Isaac

Time was the page you wrote on

Motion’s laws you did define

Light was yours to uncover

Colors showed their true design

 

You were moving in your own direction

Leaving all your peers behind

You were proving with introspection

That nothing can resist the human mind

 

The planets motions you uncovered

What was chaos now had rules

The formulas that you discovered

Were the crown’s most famous jewels

 

Chorus

 

And though you owed a lot to others

Some unknown and some of fame

After you nothing was the same

 

The heavens fell to your measure

You were knighted by the queen

England’s son, the world’s treasure

A mind like yours had not been seen

 

Chorus

 

The planets dance to your design…

The planets dance to your design…
