Ox Danube's bank a spotted fawn Was nursed among the ferns and sap- lings; As lively as a leprechaun He raced with other pretty dapplings. Behind his dam he loved to tag When nights were wild or owls were screechy, Until he met a grand old stag, A proselyte of Friedrich Nietzsche. “What ho!” began the stately buck. The fawn observed, “They call me Bambi.” “Well,” said the stag, “I wish you luck, But don’t grow up a namby-pamby. “Though all the world’s our danger zone, You mustn't hang around your mother; Be off and learn to live alone Without the aid of any other!” So Bambi flourished, brave and trim, In spite of dogs and fowling-pieces, And learned to dodge the sleights of “Him,” As deerfolk term our awful species. He thought this human Thing of Dread Omnipotent and fate-defying Until he found a poacher, dead, Upon the crimsoned snowdrift lying. A man, he saw, must face his hour No less than any coot or widgeon; So Bambi owned a Higher Power; In other words, he got religion. It’s good; but, Woodsman, tell me true: What makes them praise the sort of fable That Thompson-Seton used to do As great,—except the foreign label?
