| The stream is shrunk—the pool is dry, And we be comrades, thou and I; With fevered jowl and sunken flank Each jostling each along the bank; And, by one drouthy fear made still, Foregoing thought of quest or kill. Now ‘neath his dam the fawn may see The lean Pack-wolf as cowed as he, And the tall buck, unflinching, note The fangs that tore his father’s throat. The pools are shrunk — the streams are dry, And we be playmates, thou and I, Till yonder cloud — Good Hunting! — loose The rain that breaks the Water Truce. |
