He sat until the midnight hour
  Gave place to morning dawn;
Then raised his eyes in mild surprise
  And sighed, but still sat on.

His head grew large, his body small,
  Until I grieve to say
That student's head from books he read
  Had grown enormously.

But large, still larger, it became;
  Such thing could never be;
With mighty blast his head at last
  Exploded suddenly.

And out came volumes large and small -
  A wondrous sight to see! -
And from that store of learned lore
  They raised a library.

Ye students all who read this tale,
  Beware, I say, lest you,
By burning bright the midnight light,
  May perish like that "stu".
