She was so beautiful, she is beautiful, with her face like snow ; White wax whiter than the bees know In the quiet room ; I killed all the bluebottles hours ago- Dirty creatures- 82 THE BALLADE OF THE WEARY WRITER When I was young and of myself the king, And all the world was fresh and green and gay, I hunted Indians in the golden spring, Till night threw shadows o'er my corpse-strewn way; And, by my soul, I know it was not play That led me captive on from hill to hill, Laden with scalps and sw...ord upraised to slay, For in my heart I am a hunter still.
And haply summer's gentler days would bring Surfeit of Indians and their quick dismay. So gun in hand, I'd wait unwearying To pepper tigers in my father's hay ; And elephants would trumpet through the may, Stung by the ball that never failed to kill.
But, oh ! the sadness of that joyous day — For in my heart I am a hunter still.
83 THE BALLADE OF THE WEARY WRITER But now my right hand harms not anything, Indian and tiger long have passed away, And wondrous mammoths, caught upon the wing, Some other boy has made his lawful prey.
