The King Of The Fairy Men

I know the man without a soul :
He is happy as the day,
He is happy, people say.

He is happy—so they say :
But they do not see him roll
On the ground in very dole.

All along the ground in dole,
When no one is watching, he
Bites the ground in agony.

He bites the ground in agony :
But with people he is whole :
I know the man without a soul !

Songs From The Clay [1915]
