richard hundley - the elephant is slow to mate lyrics
Loading...
the elephant, the huge old beast
is slow to mate;
he finds a female, they show no haste
they wait
for the sympathy in their vast shy hearts
slowly, slowly to rouse
as they loiter along the river+beds
and drink and browse
and dash in panic through the brake
of forest with the herd
and sleep in massive silence, and wake
together, without a word
so slowly the great hot elephant hearts
grow full of desire
and the great beasts mate in secret at last
hiding their fire
oldest they are and the wisest of beasts
so they know at last
how to wait for the loneliest of feasts
for the full repast
they do not sn+tch, they do not tear;
their massive blood
moves as the moon+tides, near, more near
till they touch in flood
