THE BUFFALO - ZaunköniG - 09.08.2014 THE BUFFALO ENCASED in mud, and breathing valley steam, And teased all day by clouds of stinging flies, That smother round his flanks and mouth and eyes, Provoking rage, till an unlidded gleam Darts from each eye across the sombre stream, And his great bulk is shaken, to surprise And scare away the pestering hosts, that rise Black in the air about him ; parrots scream Above him in the tangled overgrowth, And monkeys chatter, and the green snake glides From branch to branch with supple weaving thews, But he, though irked by noise and stir, is loth To leave the wallowing-pool that coats his sides, And back and belly with protective ooze. |
