Subject(s): Trapping & Trappers; Traps; Snares; Trappers
I have a friend among the hills,
Four-legged kin of brown;
Secretive still he guards his track,
And all men hunt him down.
Small friend, I too, caught in the trap,
Most bitterly must I gnaw
The steel: I leave my Hunter still
As you, one velvet paw.
