Old Euclid drew a circle
On a sand-beach long ago
He bounded and enclosed it
With angles thus and so
His set of solemn greybeards
Nodded and argued much
Of arc and of circumference
Diameter and such
A silent child stood by them
From morning until noon
Because they drew such charming
Round pictures of the moon
On a sand-beach long ago
He bounded and enclosed it
With angles thus and so
His set of solemn greybeards
Nodded and argued much
Of arc and of circumference
Diameter and such
A silent child stood by them
From morning until noon
Because they drew such charming
Round pictures of the moon
