Heavy Dew
There's a heavy dew 'pon the ground
A gift from last nights rain
Then I saw the path whence was made
By an animal plain
Then I saw another path, too
They both came from the road
Then they converged in the front yard
Together was their mode
Two deer_a mother and her fawn
A youth of this years birth
Will it live to follow the path
By ancestors of earth
Deer were here then wiped out by man
Lyme disease disappeared
Gone with deer whose ticks spread it round
Now both are back uncleared
There's good_ bad in most everything
Now the garden fenced round
But the deer's beauty is enjoyed
All the year most profound
