He would be
A lovely boy who lived
Close to the frog pond
The tadpoles would catch glimpses
Of him through the refractory waters
Walking to and fro in the cool of the day
But could they trust their love? How could they ever measure up?
How many froglings does it take to amalgamate
A suitable consort for a King?
All of them with all their hearts
Eyes fixed skyward
To see his face and speak at last in the tongues of
Men and angels
