My Live had stood – A
\nLoaded Gun –
\nIn Corners – till a Day
\nThe Owner passed – identified –
\nAnd carried Me Away –<\/p>\n
And now We roam in
\nSovreign Woods –
\nAnd now We hunt the Doe –
\nAnd Every time I speak
\nfor Him –
\nThe Mountains straight\u00a0 reply –<\/p>\n
And do I smile, such
\nCordial Light
\nOpen the Valley glow –
\nIt is as a Veseuvian face
\nHad let it’s pleasure through-<\/p>\n
And when at Night – Our
\nGood Day Done –
\nI guard My Master’s Head –
\n‘Tis better than the Eider-
\nDuck’s
\nDeep Pillow – to have shared –<\/p>\n
To foe of His – I’m Deadly
\nfoe –
\nNone stir the Second time –
\nOn whom I lay a Yellow
\nEye –
\nOr An Emphatic Thumb –<\/p>\n
Though I than He – May
\nlonger live
\nHe longer must – than I.
\nFor I have but the Power
\nto Kill,
\nWithout – the Power to Die –<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
