A poem by John Freeman

The Hounds

________________________________________________
Title:     The Hounds
Author: John Freeman [More Titles by Freeman]

Far off a lonely hound
Telling his loneliness all round
To the dark woods, dark hills, and darker sea;

And, answering, the sound
Of that yet lonelier sea-hound
Telling his loneliness to the solitary stars.

Hearing, the kennelled hound
Some neighbourhood and comfort found,
And slept beneath the comfortless high stars.

But that wild sea-hound
Unkennelled, called all night all round--
The unneighboured and uncomforted cold sea.





[The end]
John Freeman's poem: Hounds
