Terzanelle: "On Bountiful Nature"

Terzanelle : "On nature's bounty"

When jolly clouds cavorted before the jolly sun
Then on the green the jolly daisies reared
Their newly framed young faces to greet the new day's fun

I heard the grey wolf howl and was afeared
When nannies with perambulators walked the woodland paths
Then on the green the jolly daisies reared

And the babies were all cleaned at night and happy in their baths
I dreamed a future darker then than dawn
When nannies with perambulators walked the woodland paths

I heard the wolf cries on the wind, saw blood upon the lawn
Dewed with red from all the slaughter of the deed
I dreamed a future darker then than dawn

But like Casandra, no one heard my rede
Beware the things nature demands to make its hunters rear
Dewed with red from all the slaughter of the deed

For nature's powered by all the thirsts that we are bound to fear
When jolly clouds cavorted before the jolly sun
Beware the things nature demands to make its hunters rear
Their newly framed young faces to greet the new day's fun
