Hallowed Halls

In hallowed halls old art is shown
not bronze, silver or pharaoh's thrones,
these more ancient from fossiled graves
of our forebears, the stone-age brave,
who left their art on humble stone.

Giant auks, cave bears, in pastel tone,
arrows loosed, stones, spears soon are thrown
full captured here except for groans,
In hallowed halls.

Mammoth, wolf, deer, elk, dappled roan
for fifty-thousand years have roamed
the dusty walls of these old naves
their temples then, their art engraved,
by children, women, men, unknown
in hallowed halls
