The Mind
Needlework: Finished To-Night
From Curtains (1921)
The Mind
I have unleashed my hands, like hounds,
And I must not call them back;
They are off with virile bounds
On the hidden quarry's track.
Though there come rain or sun —
Fleet and lean and white,
They will follow the scent until they run
The quarry to earth, and the quarry is night.
