Good luck, hunter mind, trailing through field, swamp and thicket, elusive prey. Startled from cover the crested word escapes to sky, mocking your pride. Mind always hopeful to betray that legend: how from bush beside climbs clear the marvellous bird untouched and only flight for shield! Hunter never returning from briar and weather triumphant, never with cheer of small fowl soft on a string, the prize of boasting and stamping before the fire O hunter, good luck, in the late bitter year companionless, intent on the long skies, eye taut for the least grey leaf of air stirred by flight of the plumaged implausible bird. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE LAMENT OF QUARRY by LEONIE ADAMS KILLDEER by KENNETH SLADE ALLING THE YOUNG FOWLER THAT MISTOOK HIS GAME by PHILIP AYRES A POEM ABOUT THE HOUNDS AND THE HARES by LISEL MUELLER AGAINST THE MISER MIND by ALICE MONKS MEARS |
