The enemy of all

The frog half fearful jumps across the path


& little mouse that leaves its hole at eve


Nimbles with timid dread beneath the swath


My rustling steps awhile their joys deceive


Till past & then the cricket sings more strong


& grasshoppers in merry moods still wear


The short night weary with their fretting song


Up from behind the molehill jumps the hare


Thus natures human link & endless thrall


Proud man still seems the enemy of all
