Elegy to the Princes of the Forest in Western Pennsylvania



I have big antlers on my head,

They go from ear to ear,

And every time I go to bed,

I know that I'm a deer.

You may have seen me in the woods,

In summer, spring or fall,

But probably you've seen me the best,

When my head's stuck on a wall.

A lot of hunters think its fun,

To chase us too and fro,

Don't they know we're just some bucks,

In it for the doe.

So if you hear a gun's report,

In a primal forest's splendor,

One of us is Pittsburgh bound,

Tied to some one's fender.
