Collector

Patiently, contentedly,
He catches butterflies;
Sorts and mounts and studies them
While he identifies
Each smallest one. They are,
Besides these happy hours,
Geology, geography,
Summer, sunshine, flowers.

There’s not in any man I know
Enthusiasm so alive!
It keeps his nerves and heart intact-And
himself young at eighty-five.
