What nature unto life decrees at birth Is hard to change in anything on earth, A fool will live a fool, no matter what His friends may do to clear away the blot. E was a noble beast, and from his eye The lively gaze of life's young vigor shone, He bayed aloud and to his solemn cry The echo answered with a doleful tone, Which mingled with the rustle of surrounding trees, That waved their mighty branches to the passing breeze. 82 3JncitientaI 'Twas quiet night, and from the moon afar Pale light c...ame down and rested on his brow. Alone he wandered, gazing toward each star That cast upon his form its silvery glow ; Lost from the herd, lost, victimized and worn, He shied the chaser's dart, tho' mangled by the thorn. The silent wilderness he slowly paced, And with a piteous and incessant moan He wandered wildly o'er the barren waste, All desolate and drear, all dark and lone ; The wild birds startled from their hidden haunts, rushed out, And hills re-echoed with their strange and fearful shout.
