All in Green Went My Love Riding Lyrics
(E. E. Cummings)
All in green went my love riding
on a great horse of gold
into the silver dawn.
four lean hounds crouched low and smiling
the merry deer ran before.
Fleeter be they than dappled dreams
the sweet swift deer
the red rare deer.
Four red roebuck at a white water
the cruel bugle sang before.
Horn at hip went my love riding
riding the echo down
into the silver dawn.
four lean hounds crouched low and smiling
the level meadows ran before.
Softer be they than slippered sleep
the lean lithe deer
the fleet flown deer.
Four fleet does at a gold valley
the famished arrow sang before.
Bow at belt went my love riding
riding the mountain down
into the silver dawn.
four lean hounds crouched low and smiling
the sheer peaks ran before.
Paler be they than daunting death
the sleek slim deer
the tall tense deer.
Four tall stags at a green mountain
the lucky hunter sang before.
All in green went my love riding
on a great horse of gold
into the silver dawn.
four lean hounds crouched low and smiling
my heart fell dead before.
on a great horse of gold
into the silver dawn.
the merry deer ran before.
the sweet swift deer
the red rare deer.
the cruel bugle sang before.
riding the echo down
into the silver dawn.
the level meadows ran before.
the lean lithe deer
the fleet flown deer.
the famished arrow sang before.
riding the mountain down
into the silver dawn.
the sheer peaks ran before.
the sleek slim deer
the tall tense deer.
the lucky hunter sang before.
on a great horse of gold
into the silver dawn.
my heart fell dead before.

If "my love" is a hunter, "I" be the prey? I just can not believe in such masochist meaning of such a jentle art song.
