THE YAK, by HILAIRE BELLOC Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: As a friend to the children commend me the yak Last Line: (I cannot be positive which.) Alternate Author Name(s): Belloc, Joseph Hilaire Pierre Rene Subject(s): Animals; Yaks | |||
As a friend to the children commend me the Yak. You will find it exactly the thing: It will carry and fetch, you can ride on its back, Or lead it about with a string. The Tartar who dwells on the plains of Tibet (A desolate region of snow) Has for centuries made it a nursery pet, And surely the Tartar should know! Then tell your papa where the Yak can be got, And if he is awfully rich He will buy you the creature -- or else he will not.
