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".
