<pre><br />
I beheld a creature in the homes of men<br />
that nourishes cattle. It has numerous teeth<br />
and a useful beak bending downwards<br />
which plunders gently while pulling homewards.<br />
I strides through hillocks, seeking out herbs,<br />
always locating those loosely held,<br />
leaving the true ones attached to their roots,<br />
still there standing their established ground,<br />
to brightly bloom, blossom and grow.<br />
