TIE SONG OF TIE BOW.

BY ANDREW LANG.
Keen and low
Doth the arrow sing
The Song OF the Bow,
The sound of the string.
The shafts cry shrill:
Let us forth again.
Let us feed our fill

Greedy and feet
DO we fly from far,
Like the birds that meet
For the feast Of war.
Till the air of fight.
With our wings bestirred.
As it whirs from the flight
Of the ravening bird.
Like the flakes that drift
on the snow wings breath,
Many and swift
And winged for death
Greedy and fleet
Do we speed from far,
Like the birds that meet
ON the bridge of war.
Fleet as CHESTS that wall
When the dart strikes true,
Do the swift shafts hail
Till they drink warm dew.
