Animals and Us
Could we be animals our ways might run a
somewhat kinder,
But all we’d do could prove a bit reserved,
For kindness shows a kind of goodness,
And goodness makes one’s wisdom kinder,
With wisdom, in its turn, appreciation
For all that beauty just suggests;
All we’d done would stay as cage-less,
As misted as a foggy morn.
