THE FALLOW DEER AT THE LONELY HOUSE, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: One without looks in tonight
Last Line: Fourfooted, tiptoe.
Subject(s): Deer


One without looks in tonight
Through the curtain-chink
From the sheet of glistening white;
One without looks in tonight
As we sit and think
By the fender-brink.

We do not discern those eyes
Watching in the snow;
Lit by lamps of rosy dyes
We do not discern those eyes
Wondering, aglow,
Fourfooted, tiptoe.
