First Line: Primordial man most sorely feared
Last Line: Destroyed his children without ruth!
Subject(s): Fear
Primordial man most sorely feared
The tangled wood and dark morass;
From out their depths strange beings leered—
Death lurked in bramble, bush and grass.
Half-clad and puny, scant defense
Had he against the saber-tooth
Which, with its claws and fangs immense,
Destroyed his children without ruth!
