The Wild Man

Where the stars are singing high
In their mighty dwellings, I
Have a habitation too,
And I slip away from you,
In the night-time or the day,
And you don't know I'm away.

I can go out when I please,
I can soar upon a breeze,
I can dodge from any eye,
I can straddle on the sky,
I can run away and be
Gone while you are watching me.

Where the stars go shouting by
In the heavens, there am I,
Leaping like a goat upon
Jupiter and Orion :
Then what do I care for thee
Who are always watching me.

Songs From The Clay [1915]
