| Unicorn
The Unicorn with the long white
horn
Is beautiful and wild.
He gallops across the forest
green
So quickly that he's seldom
seen
Where Peacocks their blue
feathers preen
And strawberries grow wild.
He flees the hunter and the
hounds,
Upon the black earth his white
hoof pounds,
Over cold mountains streams
he bounds
And comes to meadow mild;
There, when he kneels to take
his nap,
He lays his head in a lady's
lap
As gently as a child.
William Jay Smith
