Civilization-spurns-the Leopard!
Was the Leopard-bold?
Deserts-never rebuked her Satin-
Ethiop-her Gold-
Tawny-her Customs-
She was Conscious-
Spotted-her Dun Gown-
This was the Leopard's nature-Signor-
Need-a keeper-frown?
Pity-the Pard-that left her Asia-
Memories-of Palm-
Cannot be stifled-with Narcotic-
Nor suppressed-with Balm-
Civilization'spurns'the Leopard!
