i had these questions for you? after reading the poems please answer to my questions which are at the last.
T igers forever
may there always be tigers.
in the jungles and tall grass
may the tiger's roar be heard,
may his thunder
be known in the land.
at the forest pool,by moonlight
may he drink and raise his head
scenting the night wind.
May he crouch low in the grass
when the herdsman pass,
And slumbr in dark carvens
when th sun is high.
May there always be tigers.
But not so many,that one of them
Might be tempted to come into my room
In search of a meal!
