*** The Lion of Juda ***

Written Summer 1964:

Last night with mine own eyes, I beheld the Lion of Juda.
I saw him shake his mane as he walked through the city streets
first glinting, then scowling, now roaring! I feared him not,
though at me he did angrily look: For his was a holy anger
clear white clean through.
And when he was gone, I felt whole again, even brand new.
