No more her curling locks I praise, Or listen to her tender sighs." The elephants among the trees Skipped lightly on from twig to twig ; " For she is on the roaring deep, The tiger sailed upon the breeze, Where doleful angleworms do crawl, And sweetly smiled the slender pig. Where angry cows and camels creep, Where stalks the glow-worm grim and tall." The scene was wild, delightful, grand, On the soft rocks the birds reclined, The bold Ant-eater ceased to talk, In leafy caves by breezes fanned And silently he wiped his eyes ; The love-lorn caterpillars pined. And grimly smiled ; the crawling stork, And prancing snakes uttered deep sighs. But suddenly across the plain The wild, ferocious rabbit ran, The bull-frog gently wagged his tail, While the huge robin roared with pain, The inch-worm yawned and went to sleep ; And glared as only robins can. And, flying swiftly on the gale, The lion chirped in accents deep. For the fierce Ant-Eater had come, His broad wings covered o'er with blood ; The wolf spread out his wings so bright, He flew along with noiseless hum, The lively lizard skipped away ; Then plunged into the crystal flood. The hen and gold-bug had a fight, Soon he emerged and shook his mane, The sun went down, and it was day. And leaflets fell before his stroke, And when the stars came twinkling out, His bosom heaved with throbs of pain The fishes sported on the plain ; While with a laughing voice he spoke. The oysters uttered many a shout "0 listen to my fearful lay, That made the tiny whale complain. Ye prowling birds and soaring fish, J. D. P.
