TO JAMES THOMAS LEES Strong scholar, faithful teacher, gra cious friend, The love of Vedic hymns and Attic taste Was in your mind so finely inter laced, E'en Homer was enriched by such a blend. With kindled mind you have kept the upward trend, And far above the easy path you placed The goal. With you we left the lowland waste, Taking the trail that mountaineers ascend, And up the highest peak you led the way. On that far crest, o'erlooking hill and plain, You shared with us what men have found to say Of roots of primal speech that still remain. You deeply sensed that language enfolden lay Within a humanism spurned by man's disdain. Great Nature's lover, it was your joy to be On the beach where huge breakers rise and fall. 'Twas evening time you heard the clear, strong call That comes to every man on land or seas. Though outward bound and far be yond the lee, You knew the course.
