May there always be tigers
In the jungles and tall grass
May the tiger’s roar be heard,
May his thunder
Be known in the land.
At the forest pool, by 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 the dark caverns
When the Sun is high.

But not so many, that one of them
Might be tempted to come into my room
In search of a meal!
