Magnificence of the Tiger
As twilight draws its curtain
And pins it with a star
I stand near the water basin
Waiting for the jungle’s Tsar
Silently on soft padded feet
Came the mighty beast
Bamboos bowed in reverence to greet
The tiger eating his feast
His fiery eyes looked around
Standing proud on his jungle throne
The prey dare not make a sound
Although I was chilled to the bone
His grace and powerful beauty
And the mystic fire that burns within
It’s our need and foremost duty
To save this magical animal and its kin
