VOX CORPORIS by SARA TEASDALE

Poet Analysis

First Line: THE BEAST TO THE BEAST IS CALLING
Last Line: HE WILL NOT LET THEM MEET.
The beast to the beast is calling,
And the soul bends down to wait;
Like the stealthy lord of the jungle,
The white man calls his mate.

The beast to the beast is calling,
They rush through the twilight sweet,
But the soul is a wary hunter,
He will not let them meet.
