Wild-cat, gnat and I

Go our ways under a grey sky.

Little that Himself has made

Ever finds me quite afraid . . .

Though if cat clawed me, / Gnat gnawed me, / I should shriek, or roll in grass, / Asking that this trouble pass.

Things that hunt in hunger I stroke, across my fear:

Only anger

Brings the crashing tear.
