All night we have starved—not a crust, not a crum

And lain awake thinking of breakfast to come;

If we grunt all together, perhaps we’ll get some.

The Hunter

I spring from my bed like one from the dead,

I leap from my lair like the fawn;

The still stars are flashing their fires overhead,

And lo the white light of the dawn.

I rise from my dreams to plunge in the streams;

I run in the rainbows of dew;
