My masters twain made me a bed	A
Of pine boughs resinous and cedar	B
Of moss a soft and gentle breeder	B
Of dreams of rest and me they spread	A
With furry skins and laughing said	A
Now she shall lay her polish'd sides	C
As queens do rest or dainty brides	C
Our slender lady of the tides	C
	-
My masters twain their camp soul lit	D
Streamed incense from the hissing cones	E
Large crimson flashes grew and whirl'd	F
Thin golden nerves of sly light curl'd	F
Round the dun camp and rose faint zones	E
Half way about each grim bole knit	D
Like a shy child that would bedeck	G
With its soft clasp a Brave's red neck	G
Yet sees the rough shield on his breast	H
The awful plumes shake on his crest	H
And fearful drops his timid face	I
Nor dares complete the sweet embrace	I
	-
Into the hollow hearts of brakes	J
Yet warm from sides of does and stags	J
Pass'd to the crisp dark river flags	J
Sinuous red as copper snakes	J
Sharp headed serpents made of light	K
Glided and hid themselves in night	K
	-
My masters twain the slaughtered deer	L
Hung on fork'd boughs with thongs of leather	B
Bound were his stiff slim feet together	B
His eyes like dead stars cold and drear	B
The wand'ring firelight drew near	B
And laid its wide palm red and anxious	J
On the sharp splendor of his branches	J
On the white foam grown hard and sere	B
On flank and shoulder	B
Death hard as breast of granite boulder	B
And under his lashes	J
Peer'd thro' his eyes at his life's grey ashes	J
	-
My masters twain sang songs that wove	M
As they burnish'd hunting blade and rifle	N
A golden thread with a cobweb trifle	N
Loud of the chase and low of love	O
	-
O Love art thou a silver fish	P
Shy of the line and shy of gaffing	G
Which we do follow fierce yet laughing	G
Casting at thee the light wing'd wish	P
And at the last shall we bring thee up	Q
From the crystal darkness under the cup	Q
Of lily folden	R
On broad leaves golden	R
	-
O Love art thou a silver deer	B
Swift thy starr'd feet as wing of swallow	S
While we with rushing arrows follow	S
And at the last shall we draw near	B
And over thy velvet neck cast thongs	J
Woven of roses of stars of songs	J
New chains all moulden	R
Of rare gems olden	R
	-
They hung the slaughter'd fish like swords	J
On saplings slender like scimitars	J
Bright and ruddied from new dead wars	J
Blaz'd in the light the scaly hordes	J
	-
They piled up boughs beneath the trees	J
Of cedar web and green fir tassel	N
Low did the pointed pine tops rustle	N
The camp fire blush'd to the tender breeze	J
	-
The hounds laid dew laps on the ground	T
With needles of pine sweet soft and rusty	U
Dream'd of the dead stag stout and lusty	U
A bat by the red flames wove its round	T
	-
The darkness built its wigwam walls	J
Close round the camp and at its curtain	R
Press'd shapes thin woven and uncertain	R
As white locks of tall waterfalls	J
