Cinemascope

Hush, the elegant predator Ripples the shimmering grass The almighty terminator Flashes its claw, it's the last Breath of mole. The furtive prayers Whimper in the palate rafters. ii And in the great heart enclosing all Which word did divine love prefer Hawk, or rodent nibling at the wall? Wisdom cuddles the predator. The dripping claws, the crimson fang Time brand the laws that right the strong. iii The eagle circling in the sky Mesmerizes the frozen eye And suddenly the thud of wings Leda shudders and Mary sings. iv The adversary leaps, flies, crawls And blood is in his trail The tiger halts the dead lamb's palls The hunter got his quail And I beheld the sky all night And wonder what is light?
