Morning Song in the Jungle

..."The Day--the Day to Man!"

The dew is dried that drenched our hide,
 Or washed about our way;
And where we drank, the puddled bank
 Is crisping into clay.
The traitor Dark gives up each mark
 Of stretched or hooded claw:
Then hear the Call: "Good rest to all
 That keep the Jungle Law!"...Read more of this...

The Drunken Fisherman

...into holes;
A grain of sand inside my shoe
Mimics the moon that might undo
Man and Creation too; remorse,
Stinking, has puddled up its source;

And when the Prince of Darkness stalks

Or take your bodies honorless to Hell ? 

In Heaven you have heard no marriage is, 
No white flesh tinder to your lecheries, ...Read more of this...

The Princess (part 3)

...ake the chance. 
But such extremes, I told her, well might harm 
The woman's cause. "Not more than now," she said, 
"So puddled as it is with favouritism." 
I tried the mother's heart. Shame might befall 
Melissa, knowing, saying not she knew: 
Her answer was "Leave me to deal with that." 
I spoke of war to come and many deaths, 
And she replied, her duty was to speak, 
And duty duty, clear of consequences. 
I grew discouraged, Sir; but since I knew 
No rock so hard but that ...Read more of this...
