Looking for a Roy Campbell poem
Looking for a Roy Campbell poem on behalf of a family friend. Googling around with a couple half-remembered phrases eventually turned up:
The love of nature burning in his heart,
Our new St Francis offers us his book,
The Saint, who fed the birds at Bondelswart
and fattened up the vultures at Bulhoek.
(That's a cobbling together two versions, both of which, on metrical considerations, appear to be misquotations)
Does anybody know the name of the poem, whether the above wording is correct, and whether there are more verses? It's about Smuts.
