THE BLIND DOE
|
A poor half-blind Doe her one eye Kept shoreward, all danger to spy, As she fed by the sea, Poor innocent! she Was shot from a boat passing by. |
WATCH ON ALL SIDES
THE GEESE & THE CRANES
|
The Geese joined the Cranes in some wheat; All was well, till, disturbed at their treat, Light-winged, the Cranes fled, But the slow Geese, well fed, Couldn’t rise, and were caught in retreat. |
