The Peaceable Kingdom

When I rose round about it was peopled with animals, Trotting horse, nursing sow, Russian wolfhound, Crane poking awkward for nourishment, Zebra on champain, giraffe nibbling trees, Jabbery jungle aviary, toucan and macaw.

A gazelle, seized by a lion, in terror blacks out, Other gazelles bound, horns aslant.

Water creatures mobile with their sides Wink finely in bold unbewilderment. Far down others divagate in a black Element stunned.

Grasses prink in morning winds, a saturnine Walker on dolmens parades his eyes, on runes.
