In the deep kingdom underground

There is no light and little sound

Down below the earth's greenfloor

The rabbit and the mole explore.

The quarrying ants run to and fro

To make their populous empires grow.

Do they, as I pass overhead

Stop in their work to bear me tread?

Some creatures sleep and do not toil

Secure and warm beneath the soil

Sometimes a fork or spade intrudes

Upon their earthly solitudes,

Downward the branching tree roots spread

Into the country of the dead.

Deep down, the buried rocks and stones

Are like the earth's gigantic bones.

In the dark kingdom underground

How many marvellous things are found.
