Through what wild centuries
Roves back the rose.

Hi! handsome hunting man
Fire your little gun.
Bang! Now the animal
Is dead and dumb and done.

Never the least stir made the listeners,
Though every word he spake
Fell echoing through the shadowiness of the still house
From the one man left awake:
Aye, they heard his foot upon the stirrup,
And the sound of iron on stone,
And how the silence surged softly backward,
When the plunging hoofs were gone.
Walter de la Mare
