it is imprisoned in a zoo. On a starry night, the poet seen a tiger in a
zoo. The tiger moves slowly up and down in his cage. He is full of rage
but is quit in his helplessness. The poet is moved to pity for the
tiger. He says that the tiger should have been in the jungle. He should
have been moving quietly in the shadows near some water hole and waiting
for a pump deer to pass that way. But sadly he is locked behind bars in
a concrete cell. He does not take any notice of the visitors and is
looking at the brilliant stars with his brilliant eyes. Now he has to be
content with merely looking at the stars. He is no longer free to move
in his natural habitat and look at the brilliant stars from there.
