Hide not, hide not, Deer in lowlands, Elk in meadows, Goats on crag-lands. Hide not brown bear, Island black bear, Lynx and cougar, Mink and beaver. Safe the marten, Safe the raccoon, Now we hunt not Wolf and cougar, Brant nor swan Nor wild geese soaring, Porpoise, whale Nor cod nor herring. Nor bald eagles From the snow peaks Curving where the bay is misty. Lo! we hunt the female otter! With our spears We shall surround her. He who slays her triumphs doubly, Double prize shall be his portion. Lo! we hunt the red witch-woman, Who with magic tricks has harmed us Even seizing our Great Copper! Hide not, hide not, Game in caverns, Only hide @3thee,@1 Lost Enchantress! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...MAHMOUD by JAMES HENRY LEIGH HUNT A WOMAN'S ANSWER by ADELAIDE ANNE PROCTER THE CLERKS by EDWIN ARLINGTON ROBINSON A RONDEL OF LUVE [LOVE] by ALEXANDER SCOTT (1520-1590) ALFRED THE HARPER by JOHN STERLING (1806-1844) THE COMMON LOT by ANNA HEMPSTEAD BRANCH A SWEET CONTENTION BETWEEN LOVE, HIS MISTRESS, AND BEAUTY by NICHOLAS BRETON |
