Missing Words

Brave as a falcon and as merciless,
With bright watching still the world, thy prey,
I saw thee in thy lone majesty,
Untamed, unmated, high above the press.
The dull crowd gazed at thee. It could not
The secret of thy proud aérial way,
Or read thy mute face the soul which lay
A prisoner in chains of tenderness.
—Lo, thou art captured. In hand to-day
I hold thee, and awhile thou deignest be
Pleased with my jesses. I would fain beguile
foolish heart to think thou lovest me. See,
I not love thee quite. A little while
And thou sail back heavenwards. Woe is me!
