First Line: A mossy knoll under a dogwood tree
Last Line: And plodding on, knew not their writhing pain.
Subject(s): Ants; Insects; Bugs
A mossy knoll under a dogwood tree,
Seemed as a grove of lacy trees on a hill
To hordes of ants that marched in lines,
As traffic on a busy market day --
A passing man, a seeming giant,
Crushed them beneath his heavy boots,
And plodding on, knew not their writhing pain.
