A Cripple To A Snake


 
Pretty shining snake
Down the garden lake
 
You look like a rope
Wriggling down the slope
 
As you crawl and glide
To your hole to hide
 
Stop awhile I pray
Muse at me today
 
And hang your head to sway
The drunken-master way
 
But, by God! do not strike
For we are both alike
 
Condemned by crippled fate
To this our limbless state
