Epithalamium

Out of the forest, panther, come, Silken, supple, silent, lone — Out of the forest, drooped with night — To your delight. Under bloom and over stone, Out of the forest, panther, come. Something sees and slips with you, Something huge and gaunt and blue, Lashes its tail and follows you : You, pursued, still pursue. . . . Sky with thunder on its rim Closes and closes after you : Trigger loin, swinging limb, Go and go and go from him! Brushing haunches, taut with dew, Follow, follow, follow you.

D. H. Lawrence

A Doe at Evening

As I went through the marshes a doe sprang out of the corn and flashed up the hill-side leaving her fawn. On the sky-line she moved round to watch, she pricked a fine black blotch on the sky. I looked at her and felt her watching; I became a strange being. Still, I had my right to be there with her, Her nimble shadow trotting along the sky-line, she put back her fine, level-balanced head. And I knew her.

Countee Cullen

For a Lovely Lady

A creature slender as a reed, And sad-eyed as a doe Lies here (but take my word for it, And do not pry below).
