Leaping Leopard (7/59)

When is it that Thou granteth me
The lifeboat of Thy Feet
That would save me from being drowned
In the sea of passion of damsels
Bedecked in fragrant flowers?
''Rise and protect us, oh, our Lord!''
Thus do the celestials adore Thee.
Oh! Father! Thou, Bliss Being
Of Form shrouded in ashes white!
