Poet Analysis

First Line: AND SUCH A MORNING FOR CUBBING
Last Line: WE'RE OUT FOR AND AFTER TO-DAY!

And such a morning for cubbing --
The dew so thick on the grass!
Two hares are lolloping just out of range
Scattering the dew as they pass.

A covey of partridge whirrs overhead
Scatheless, and gets clean away;
For it's other and crueller, craftier game
We're out for and after to-day!
