A Colubrid is a snake that is a member of the Colubridae family. It is a broad classification of snakes that includes well over half of all of the snake species on earth.

Even so forlorn--in worlds beyond our ken -
Even so forlorn, prophetic of man's fate,
When none but God might hear the boding tone,
When all is done, when all the tale is told,
The saying of the sea,
The laughter of the waves, the flight
That are so glad to be!
"Forget night.html">Night's monotone,
The days are thine, the days that fly,
And not the Night alone!"
WOMAN AND THE WEED.
How bleak, how un-Greek, was the Nature of Man!
There was nobody waiting to welcome him home;
And Earth was a highly detestable spot.
They did not converse but they struggled and howled,
And his notions he backed with a hatchet of flint.
So Man was alone, and he wished he could see
With locks like the red gold, a smile like the sun,
And he sighed for a voice.html">voice that should answer.html">answer him still,
That should answer him softly and always agree,
And they spoke to the Sun on his way through the air,
And Woman, their beautiful daughter, was born.html">born!
With a voice like a song, with a face.html">face like a flame;
And happy was Man, but it was not for long!
For weather's a painfully changeable thing,
And the face of the Sun may be hidden with mist,
And unfortunate Man had to learn with surprise
That the sweetest of voices can scold and can sneer,
And they answered him--"Sir, you would needs have it so:
She's immortal--your child of the Echo and Sun.
This maiden with locks that are flowing and free.
With a flower like a star in the night of her hair.
With her heart that is heavenly, and tender, and true.
You shall bury her body and thence shall be born
