Vox Corporis
by Sara Teasdale
From Helen of Troy and Other Poems Part III


The beast to the beast is calling,
      And the soul bends down to wait;
Like the stealthy lord of the jungle,
      The white man calls his mate.

The beast to the beast is calling,
      They rush through the twilight sweet,
But the soul is a wary hunter,
      He will not let them meet.
