XXXIII. ON THE DEATH OF “BLUEY,” MY HIGHLAND HARE.
O'er my poor dying pet I breathed a sigh,And stroked its smooth fur with caressing hand
Of pity, which it seemed to understand,
And answer with its melancholy eye.
I thought of birds and beasts that creep to die
In many a lonely corner of the land,
Amid still woods and mountains wild and grand,
With no kind touch of help or solace nigh.
“O pain and death,” I cried, “what a dark pall
Ye spread o'er this fair world and creatures bright,
Whose innocence might shield them from your thrall:’
But lo! the gloom is pierced by soothing light—
“Without your Father not one life shall fall;”
“Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?”
