This poem i read it in my 4th grade, but ever since that it has kinda stick into my mind... so kinda thought will post it to spread it around.... in our english text book too the name of the author was missing and i learnt the meaning of word 'anonymous' through this poem....
He Who Knows - Anonymous
He Who Knows Not, And Knows Not, That He Knows Not,
Is A Fool - Ignore Him.
He Who Knows Not, And Knows That, He Knows Not,
Is Igonrant - Teach Him.
He Who Knows, But Knows Not, That He Knows,
Is Asleep - Awake Him,
He Who Knows, And Knows That, He Knows,
Is Wise - Follow Him.

hey there, i too perhaps read this poem when in junior school (foret the grade) and had struck me too immensely hence never forgot it and have quoted it several times to different people in my life. but in my version 'he who knows not, but knows that he knows not, is a child-teach him'. i liked it very much to know that there is somebody else too who likes this as much as i do
hi
thanks for appreciating it. I used to love this poem and still really like it.
I first read this poem at my father's office and its stuck with me ever since. My father is not a person who keeps a lot of thing in his office, but he treasured this piece of paper and stuck to it in every act he did. I too try and follow his steps. Thanks for sharing and glad to know there are few others as well who knows and love this piece of work. Keep spreading!
