JUNGLE NIGHT, by WYTHEL M. HUNT
First Line: Night settles / leaf-nosed vampires
Last Line: Their light where jaguars tread.
Subject(s): Jungles
First Line: Night settles / leaf-nosed vampires
Last Line: Their light where jaguars tread.
Subject(s): Jungles
Night settles;
Leaf-nosed vampires,
Whose empire is the gloom,
Prepare their nightly bacchanale
Where jungle blackness reeks perfume
Of luxurious parasite and magnolia bloom.
Land of silence;
Flickering fire-flies,
Little stitches of a shining thread,
Woven in the verdured blackness
Of the tepid night, have spread
Their light where jaguars tread.
