Harpeth Lion


Drop, drop, drop, upon your back
No one gave a notice
Sleeping in restful slumber
The beauty of the beast
Many had played by your side
Slightly giving notice

Drizzle, drizzle, drizzle upon your head
Your eyes began to wake
The rustle of your mane
A momentary single glance 
 An almost silent roar
Called to your kin

Pour, pour, and pour, upon your pride
Your children began to move
The young to mothers
A family reuniting
Flowing toward the safety
Alone you provide

Roar roar, roar, upon the ears
All began to hear
Noticed now was the beast
With all his offspring near
Raised high with claws exposed
All mighty is the beast


Claw claw, claw upon the land
The beast began to tear
All ran in fear from the blows
Exhausted in the haste
Some escaped form the beast
Though none will forget

Shine shine, shine upon the neck
Anger now subsided
Back to rest and to slumber
The children away again
Never un-noticed once again
The beast in that place
