As quick to feel, slow to birth sound

A phoenix in peril, in pursuit, a bloodhound,

A wolf in grief, a griffin in infinite joy

A bison chasing chaos, sly fox when he is coy

A broken horse in defeat, a lion with his pride

A mermaid when it's free, a shark in high tide

A vampire in love, an owl in the dark,

A flamingo when he's lost, a penguin in the cold stark,

A kitten in rebellion, in happiness a frog

A bear in hibernation, in confusion a mad dog.
