I	A
	-
He was not learned in any art	B
But Nature led him by the hand	C
And spoke her language to his heart	B
So he could hear and understand	C
He loved her simply as a child	D
And in his love forgot the heat	E
Of conflict and sat reconciled	D
In patience of defeat	E
	-
II	A
	-
Before me now I see him rise	F
A face that seventy years had snowed	G
With winter where the kind blue eyes	F
Like hospitable fires glowed	G
A small gray man whose heart was large	H
And big with knowledge learned of need	I
A heart the hard world made its targe	H
That never ceased to bleed	I
	-
III	A
	-
He knew all Nature Yea he knew	J
What virtue lay within each flower	K
What tonic in the dawn and dew	J
And in each root what magic power	K
What in the wild witch hazel tree	L
Reversed its time of blossoming	M
And clothed its branches goldenly	N
In fall instead of spring	M
	-
IV	-
	-
He knew what made the firefly glow	N
And pulse with crystal gold and flame	O
And whence the bloodroot got its snow	N
And how the bramble's perfume came	O
He understood the water's word	P
And grasshopper's and cricket's chirr	L
And of the music of each bird	P
He was interpreter	L
	-
V	-
	-
He kept no calendar of days	Q
But knew the seasons by the flowers	R
And he could tell you by the rays	Q
Of sun or stars the very hours	R
He probed the inner mysteries	S
Of light and knew the chemic change	H
That colors flowers and what is	T
Their fragrance wild and strange	H
	-
VI	-
	-
If some old oak had power of speech	U
It could not speak more wildwood lore	L
Nor in experience further reach	U
Than he who was a tree at core	L
Nature was all his heritage	H
And seemed to fill his every need	I
Her features were his book whose page	H
He never tired to read	V
	-
VII	-
	-
He read her secrets that no man	W
Has ever read and never will	N
And put to scorn the charlatan	X
Who botanizes of her still	N
He kept his knowledge sweet and clean	Y
And questioned not of why and what	Z
And never drew a line between	Y
What's known and what is not	A2
	-
VIII	-
	-
He was most gentle good and wise	F
A simpler heart earth never saw	B2
His soul looked softly from his eyes	F
And in his speech were love and awe	C2
	-
Yet Nature in the end denied	D2
The thing he had not asked for fame	O
Unknown in poverty he died	D2
And men forget his name	O
