The Hunter
Hunter! Hunter! in the sky
Find a place for him to lie,
What aged lips or ears
Could truly know thy fears?
Children! Children! twinkled rears
Greet him with a hug of smears,
What younger fingers or toes
Could dry those tearful woes?
Servant! Servant! always knows
This is how it always goes
What knowing nods or minds
Could leave behind such rinds?
Inspired by William Blake's The Tyger.
