A Mighty Hunter

By Delwin Rees Buckner

DELWIN REES BUCKNER
LIKE vivid picture hieroglyphics, writ Upon the pale papyrus of the skies, The eagles may be seen, their eager eyes Fast focused on an open, ice-paved pit, Its snowy-breasted shadows lately lit By glowing orbs, whose fading light now dies Within the lion's twitching frame, the prize Of him, who, happy, stoops to handle it.
Ere brave Benaiah broke the brutal heart, How must the two have battled, face to face, Upon the frozen flake floor of the den, Which deed, with more in which he had a part, Obtained for him an honorable place Among the chief of David's mighty men.
