In the forest of the night
I glimpsed a tiger burning bright
In his rage and my despair
He happened to catch me standing there
I did not run
Though he gave chase
I stared that tiger in the face
In my fear I was surprised
To see humanity in his eyes
So as I stood
He did kneel
And in my mind I knew he did feel
He was sad for he was real
