The animals and the people meet
\nno bars nor walls between their feet
\nSuch are the rules
\nof the Emperor’s zoo<\/p>\n
A gibbon shares a cup of tea
\nWith a princess from across the sea
\nSuch are the joys
\nof the Emperor’s zoo<\/p>\n
A lion roars
\na child dies
\nSuch are the perils
\nof the Emperor\u2019s zoo<\/p>\n
