VOX CORPORIS, by SARA TEASDALE Poet Analysis Poet's Biography
First Line: The beast to the beast is calling
Last Line: He will not let them meet.
Alternate Author Name(s): Filsinger, Ernest B., Mrs.

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.
