The great white wolf bounds out over the field
And the vast herd of nimble russet deer
Fly with great graceful leaps before her: yield
To her bold brave passionate pursuit, their fear
Palpable, pervasive. Freckled fauns
Turn and flee, terrified, away: their doe,
White-eyed, drives them before her, for they know
The savage beast behind them masters all:
Her long white fangs, her tufted pelt, her claws,
Her terrifying terrier pursuit, her small
Strong canine ears, and rasping bark: she awes
Her trembling prey, however large, and they
All bound, as on springs, outrageously away.
