Veiled from the sun in a hollow of the forest,
He sinks down;
stretched

Cleans his paw with a broad lick of his tongue
Blinks golden eyes dull with sleepiness;
And, as his inert forces, in imagination
Make his tail flicker and his flanks quiver,
Dreams himself deep in some green plantation,
Leaping, and plunging dripping claws forever
Into bullocks' flesh as they bellow and shiver.

If that blind fury that engenders wars,
Fails to rouse the creatures of a kind,

A cradle in day's dead leaves

For the leaves last

The while the change was easily perceived,
Some months went by, ere I the tales believed;
For there are people nowadays, Lord knows,
Will sooner hatch up lies than mend their clothes;
And when with such-like tattle they begin,
Don't mind whose character they spoil a pin:
But passing neighbours often marked them smile,
And watched him take her milkpail oer a stile;
And many a time, as wandering closer by,
From Jenny's bosom met a heavy sigh;
And often marked her, as
discoursing
deep,
When doubts might rise to give just cause to weep,
Smothering their notice, by a wished disguise
To slive her apron corner to her eyes.

Sur les cranes, la neige applique un blanc chapeau:
Le corbeau fait panache a ces tetes felees,
Un morceau de chair tremble a leur maigre menton:
On dirait,
tournoyant
dans les sombres melees,
Des preux, raides, heurtant armures de carton.

Last martyr's day I saw a cherub stand
Across my seas, one foot upon the land,
The other on the
enthralled
Gallic shore,
Proclaiming loud their time shall be no more.

Worthy perusal stand against thy sight;
For who's so dumb that cannot write to thee,
When thou thy self dost give

Dare you accept the tasks
He shall impose, to find a spring, trap foxes,
Tell the sun's time,
determine

Or stumbling on through vast self-similar woods
To thread by night the nearest way to camp?

truly new ways and days receive,
surround
you,
I candidly confess a queer, queer race, of novel fashion,
And yet the same old human race, the same within, without,
Faces and hearts the same, feelings the same, yearnings the same,
The same old love, beauty and use the same.
