I hope I’ve never posted this before. For many times I’ve thought of it, And many times have let it go.
THE RABBIT HUNTER
Careless and still,The Hunter lurks
With gun depressed,
Facing alone
The alder swamps
Ghastly snow-white,
And his hound works
In the offing there
Like one possessed
And yelps delight
And sings and romps,
Bringing him on
The shadowy hare
For him to rend
And deal a death
That he, nor it
(Nor I) have wit
To comprehend.
–Robert Frost
