The Full Text of “My Life had stood - a Loaded Gun”

1My Life had stood - a Loaded Gun -

2In Corners - till a Day

3The Owner passed - identified -

4And carried Me away -

5And now We roam in Sovreign Woods -

6And now We hunt the Doe -

7And every time I speak for Him

8The Mountains straight reply -

9And do I smile, such cordial light

10Opon the Valley glow -

11It is as a Vesuvian face

12Had let it’s pleasure through -

13And when at Night - Our good Day done -

14I guard My Master’s Head -

15’Tis better than the Eider Duck’s

16Deep Pillow - to have shared -

17To foe of His - I’m deadly foe -

18None stir the second time -

19On whom I lay a Yellow Eye -

20Or an emphatic Thumb -

21Though I than He - may longer live

22He longer must - than I -

23For I have but the power to kill,

24Without - the power to die -
