What is the subject of the verb scan? What does they refer to?


Context:

CIRCLES

Nature centres into balls,
And her proud ephemerals,
Fast to surface and outside,
Scan the profile of the sphere;
Knew they what that signified,
A new genesis were here.

Thanks.

So "Knew they what that signified" means "the ephemerals knew what the profile of the sphere means"?
