                                And ate the fellow,        raw.

                                And then        he drank a dew

                                And then        hopped sidewise to the wall

                                To let a        beetle pass

                                He        danced with rapid eyes 
                         |

                        | 
                                That hurried all around-- 
                         |

                                That        looked like frightened beads, I thought

                                He        stirred his velvet head 
                         |

                        | 
                                Like one in danger;       cautious, 
                         |

                        | 
                                I offered him a crumb, 
                         |

                                And he        unrolled his feathers 
                         |

                                And rowed him       softer home

                                Than oars divide the ocean,

                                Too silver for a seam,

                                Or butterflies        off banks of noon,
