If even a dog
Holds your attention
Brings you homeward
At sun’s setting.
You are wealthy with
Love and Belonging.
Purposes outside yourself.
Lusts shoved aside for
Wealth
Fame
Self-advancement
Trophies if thought
Or invention
All balderdash compared to
That greatest thing in the world.
Drummond: bachelor, professor, naturalist, revivalist, Bible teacher. Friend to many young students in difficulty or troubled or unbelieving. Trips to Africa, observing natural behaviour. Died at age 46. Remembered fondly.
