DISASTER by MAY FAIR

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.
