from The Island of Statues
Sleeping lord of archery,
No more a-roving shalt thou see
No more a-roving shalt thou see
The panther with her yellow hide,
Of the forests all the pride,
Or her ever burning eyes,
Of the forests all the pride,
Or her ever burning eyes,
When she in a cavern lies,
Watching o'er her awful young,
Where their sinewy might is strung
Watching o'er her awful young,
Where their sinewy might is strung
In the never-lifting dark.
No! Thou standest still and stark,
No! Thou standest still and stark,
That of old wert moving ever,
But a mother panther never
O'er her young so eagerly
Did her lonely watching take
As I my watching lest you wake,
Sleeping lord of archery.
– W.B. Yeats (1885)
