Quatrains Of Life

© Wilfrid Scawen Blunt

What has my youth been that I love it thus,
Sad youth, to all but one grown tedious,

Or a tired actor's tale told to an empty house?

The Hares, A Fable.

The jolly hunting band convene,
The beagle's breast with ardour burns,
The bounding steed the champaign spurns,
And Fancy oft the game descries
Through the hound's nose, and huntsman's eyes.

Too little—'tis not well!
For careless ones we dwell
Beneath the mighty shadow it has cast.
