THE TRAP, by LAURA LOURENE LEGEAR First Line: I have a friend among the hills Last Line: As you, one velvet paw. Alternate Author Name(s): Humphreys, James Kevil, Mrs. Subject(s): Trapping & Trappers; Traps; Snares; Trappers | |||
I have a friend among the hills, Four-legged kin of brown; Secretive still he guards his track, And all men hunt him down. Small friend, I too, caught in the trap, Most bitterly must I gnaw The steel: I leave my Hunter still As you, one velvet paw. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...AN EMPTY THREAT by ROBERT FROST ELEGY FOR A TRAPPER by DAVID BOTTOMS BATEESE AND HIS LITTLE DECOYS by WILLIAM HENRY DRUMMOND BOULE by WILLIAM HENRY DRUMMOND A RAT TRAP by BELLE RICHARDSON HARRISON WOLVERINE by EMILY PAULINE JOHNSON RHYMES OF THE DAY by GEORGE SANTAYANA ODE ON THE POPULAR SUPERSTITIONS OF THE HIGHLANDS OF SCOTLAND by WILLIAM COLLINS (1721-1759) |
