Amidst dawn’s hush, I plod the path untravelled,
Searching for knowledge yet to be unravelled,
Each thesis draft a trial,
My journey will prove worthwhile.
Hearing hymns of defeat and gain,
Nothing seems in vain,
For in my chest beats a steady song,
Although the road ahead seems long,
I seek to unearth the truth,
My thirst for knowledge to soothe.
