How great a front is thine <br />A lake of majesty! <br />Assyria knew the sign <br />The god-incarnate king! <br /> <br />A lake of majesty <br />The lion's drowns in it! <br />And thy placidity <br />A moon within that lake! <br /> <br />As if thou still dost own <br />A world, thou takest breath <br />Earth-shape and strength of stone, <br />A Titan-sultan's child!<br /><br />Padraic Colum<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/bison/
