The wild despairing cry of your unearthly woes. THE ELEPHANTS. The tawny sands are like a sea immeasurable, That flameth, in its bed supine, low-sunken, still; An undulating wave, fall'n motionless, doth fill Th'horizon, copper-hued with smoke, whereas men dwell. No life there is; no noise; the lions all, full fed, Sleep in their darkling lairs an hundred leagues away; And yonder, 'neath the palms, where else the panthers prey. Beside the well-springs blue, giraffes drink unadread. No bird ther...e passeth by, dividing with his wing The dead thick air, wherein a vast sun circulates; But whiles his scaly back, that shines and scintillates In the fierce heat, betrays some viper slumbering. So the plain flames beneath the heavens' brazen glare; But, whilst all else there sleeps in that stern solitude, The rugged elephants, slow travellers and rude, Toward their native land, across the deserts, fare. LECONTE BE LISLE. 193 Out of the distance gray, like monstrous masses brown, Raising the dust, they come; and one sees, far away, How, not to turn aside from the directest way.
