A PROSE POEM
OF INGERSOLL
Touching Tribute to Hem
.ry Ward Beecher.
WORD PICTURE OF MANS LIFE
His Love of Nature and Of
Natures Many Beau
tiful Gifts.

IFrom Robt. G. lngersoll's memorial
address on the death Of Henry Ward
Beecher.l
Nature wooed and won and saved
this mighty soul. Her countless hands
were sowing seeds within his tropic
brain. All sights and sounds-all col
ors, forms and fragments-weres stored
within the treasury Of his mind. His
thoughts were nodded by the graceful
curves of streams, by winding paths
in woods, the charm of quiet country
roads, and lanes grown indistinct
with weeds and grass--by vines that
cling and hide with leaf and flower
the crumbling wallis decay-by cattle
standing in the summer pools, like
statues OF content.
There was within his words the
subtle spirit Of the seasons change
of everything that Is, of everything
that lies between the Numbering
seeds that, half awakened by the APP
ril rain, have dreams of heavens blue,
and feel the amorous kissse Of the
sun and that strange tomb wherein
the alchemist doth give to deaths
cold dust the throb and thrill of life
again. He saw with loving eyes the
willows OF the meadow streams grow
red beneath the glance Of spring-the
grass along the marsh's edge-the stir
OF life beneath the withered leaves-th
moss below the drip of snow-the
flowers that give their bosOms to
the first south wind that woos-the
sad and timid violets that only bear
the gaze of love from eyes half
closed-the ferns, where fancy gives
a thousand forms with but a single
plan--the green and sunny slopes en-
riced with daisies silver and the
cowslip's gold.
AS in the leafless woods some tree
aflame with life stands like iapt
poet in the needless crowd, so stood
this man among his fellow men. All
there is of leaf and bud, of flower and
fruit, of painted insect life, and all
the winged and happy children of the
air that summer holds beneath her
dome of blue, were known and loved
by him. He loved the yellow autumn
fields, the golden stacks, the happy
homes of men, the orchards bending
boughs, the sumach's flags of flame,
the naples with TRANSPORTED leaves,
the yellow Of the beech, the Won
drous harmonies of brown and gold
the vines where hang the clustered
spheres of wit and mirth. He loved
the winter days, the whirl and drift
of snowfall forms of frost-the rage
and fury of the storm, when in the
forest, desolate ard stripped, The
brave old pine towers green and grand
prophecy of spring. He card the
rhythmic sounds of natures busy
strife, the hum of bees, the songs
of birds, the eagles cry, the murmur
of the streams, the signs and lamen-
tations of the wind and all the voices
of the sea. He loved the shores, the
wales, the crags and cliffs, the city's
busy streets, the interpretive, silent
plain, tho solemn splendors of the
night the silver sea of dawn, the
evenings clouds of molten gold. The
love of nature freed this loving man.
