MASTERY, by LESTER E. WATERBURY
First Line: Little bunch of fur leaps up
Last Line: Sees me with fear-lit eyes, afraid?
Subject(s): Fear
First Line: Little bunch of fur leaps up
Last Line: Sees me with fear-lit eyes, afraid?
Subject(s): Fear
LITTLE bunch of fur leaps up,
Quiv'ring, startled at my step.
Tiny bit o' rabbit from
The road-side flashes, darts away,
Stops; and waits with fear-lit eyes
And wildly beating heart, afraid,
What profit, then, this mastery
Of man's that bridles winds and seas,
And hurling down and hurling up
Creates the world anew, if, in
The end, this brother-thing of mine
Sees me with fear-lit eyes, afraid?
