Ogden Nash - The Solitary Huntsman
Work rating: Low

The solitary huntsman
    No coat of pink doth wear,
But midnight black from cap to spur
    Upon his midnight mare.
He drones a tuneless jingle
    In lieu of tally-ho:
“I’ll catch a fox
    And put him in a box
        And never let him go.”

The solitary huntsman,
    He follows silent hounds.
No horn proclaims his joyless sport,
    And never a hoofbeat sounds.
His hundred hounds, his thousands,
    Their master’s will they know:
To catch a fox
    And put him in a box
        And never let him go.

For all the fox’s doubling
    They track him to his den.
The chase may fill a morning,
    Or threescore years and ten.
The huntsman never sated
    Screaks to his saddlebow,
“I’ll catch another fox
    And put him in a box
        And never let him go.”
