The pelican came forth from the holy reed-beds.its singing was sweet and its voice was pleasing.
Nance, delighting in her pelican, erected a lapis lazuli shrine, and set the holy pelican by her feet.
A wonderful bird is the pelican,But I'm damned if I see how the helican!
Nature's prime favourites were the Pelicans;High-fed, long-lived, and sociable and free.
Nimbly they seized and secreted their prey,Till evening roused them to the chase again.
The nursery of brooding Pelicans,The abodes of happy millions, were no more.
What, wouldst thou have me turn pelican, and feed thee out of my own vitals?
By them there sat the loving pelican,With her own blood to life again doth bring.
