The Meadow Mouse by T Roethke
h a p l e s s
the snake -- the tom-cat
Where has he gone
my meadow mouse
I think of the nestling fallen
My thumb of a child
that nuzzled in my palm
f o r s a k e n
into the deep grass
To run under the hawk's wing
Under the eye of the great owl
All things innocent
watching from the elm-tree
To live by courtesy ofthe shrike
