-
My Life had stood a Loaded GunB
In Corners till a DayC
The Owner passed identifiedD
And carried Me awayC
-
And now We roam in Sovereign WoodsE
And now We hunt the DoeF
And every time I speak for HimG
The Mountains straight replyH
-
And do I smile such cordial lightI
Upon the Valley glowF
It is as a Vesuvian faceJ
Had let its pleasure throughK
-
And when at Night Our good Day doneB
I guard My Master's HeadL
'Tis better than the Eider Duck'sM
Deep Pillow to have sharedN
-
To foe of His I'm deadly foeF
None stir the second timeO
On whom I lay a Yellow EyeH
Or an emphatic ThumbP
-
Though I than He may longer liveQ
He longer must than IH
For I have but the power to killR
Without the power to dieH
