My pulse of life, and let him nose like a stoat
Who sniffs with joy before he drinks the blood.”

Not caring much to know, that still
Nor lead nor steel shall reach him,”

And enters some alien cage in its plight,
And tries to forget it has dreamed of the stars,
While it breaks, breaks, breaks on the sheltering bars.”
