UNMARKED by ETHELYN MILLER HARTWICH

First Line: UNRECOGNIZED
Last Line: HAS ENERGIZED.
Subject(s): NATURE;

Unrecognized
Our prophets stand where trails are dim;
And mix strange pollens in the gloom,
New fruits and flowers to give mankind.
They strive—unmarked—for us, the blind.
We eat the fruit, enjoy the bloom,
Nor dream new power from nature's brim
Has energized.
