And as fate quickly kills
I don't know if you can,
in this world and its ills
how a down to earth man
treats the big and the small
all the critters that live
as he stands there, so tall
still so eager to give.

We can judge who he was
using science and art
that this hunter from Oz
had a pure golden heart.
