Is my cell with dreams, and quiet, and cool....
Stop, old man! You must leave a chink; How can I breathe? _You can't, you fool!_ THE LION AND THE LAMB I saw a Tiger's golden flank, I saw what food he ate, By a desert spring he drank; The Tiger's name was Hate. Then I saw a placid Lamb Lying fast asleep; Like a river from its dam Flashed the Tiger's leap. I saw a Lion tawny-red, Terrible and brave; The Tiger's leap overhead Broke like a wave. In sand below or sun above He faded like a flame. The Lamb said, "I am Love"; "Lion, tell your name." |
