A Wounded Deer -- leaps highest -- Ive heard the Hunter tell -- Tis but the Ecstasy of death -- And then the Brake is still! The Smitten Rock that gushes! The trampled Steel that springs! A Cheek is always redder Just where the Hectic stings! Mirth is the Mail of Anguish In which it Cautious Arm, Lest anybody spy the blood And youre hurt exclaim! |
