Wing-footed chamois, with your gaze so wide And so untroubled, nibbling a wild rose, So unsuspecting of what will betide! The heart that beats against you tender side, How can it warn you that your little hide Will spread the powder on Camilla's nose? Wing-footed chamois, with your gaze so wide And so untroubled, nibbling a wild rose! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...GLAD YOUNG CHAMOIS by BURGES JOHNSON THE STATE OF WYOMING by KAREN SWENSON THE BALLAD OF THE DARK LADIE; A FRAGMENT by SAMUEL TAYLOR COLERIDGE THE SKELETON OF THE FUTURE; AT LENIN'S TOMB by CHRISTOPHER MURRAY GRIEVE A MAY NIGHT by JOHANNA AMBROSIUS ON THE DEATH OF MR.
