Vachel Lindsay - Here`s To The Mice!
Work rating: Low

(Written with the hope that the socialists might yet dethrone Kaiser and Czar.)


Here`s to the mice that scare the lions,
Creeping into their cages.
Here`s to the fairy mice that bite
The elephants fat and wise:
Hidden in the hay-pile while the elephant thunder rages.
Here`s to the scurrying, timid mice
Through whom the proud cause dies.

Here`s to the seeming accident
When all is planned and working,
All the flywheels turning,
Not a vassal shirking.
Here`s to the hidden tunneling thing
That brings the mountain`s groans.
Here`s to the midnight scamps that gnaw,
Gnawing away the thrones.
