Death of a Friend
#5 of Poems
Enchanted Beast: What do these words mean?
To the dragon kind.
Many people think you are mean.
/but others also think you are kind.
Your shining scales sparkle in the sun,
And your roar tells all.
And the one who sings your song
That claims you from all.
The song that rings though the mountains,
And lingers in the valley
It fills youth's very fountain,
And dies alone in the steet's alley.
Never to be heard again.
But by my ears alone, my friend.
