Lion
Lurking circumspectly
Lest prey freely scampers
Labeled king of jungle
Labours for sweet triumph
Like soul-devourer*, who
Lies lifeless soon --- crushed by
Lord Saviour, God of love.
* 1 Peter 5:8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour.
