Question

May there always be tigers.
In the jungles and tall grasses
May the tiger's roars be heard,
May his thunder
Be known in the land.
At the forest pool moonlight
May he drink and raise his head
Scenting the night wind.
May he crouch low in the grass
When the herdsmen pass,
And slumber in dark caverns
When the sun is high.
May there always be tigers.
But not so many, that one of them
Might be tempted to come into my room
In search of a meal !
Written by Ruskin Bond.
