If she had lived, and lived to love me.
Work songs
Not then this world's wild joys had been
To me one savage hunting scene,
My sole delight the headlong race,
And frantic hurry of the chase;
To start, pursue, and bring to bay,
Rush in, drag down, and rend my prey,
Then--from the carcase turn away!
Mine ireful mood had sweetness tamed,
Year: 1880
