THE CONDEMNED There is a wildness still in England that will not feed In cages; it shrinks away from the touch of the trainer's hand, Easy to kill, not easy to tame. It will never breed In a zoo for public pleasure. It will not be planned. Do not blame us too much if we that are hedgegrow folk Cannot swell the rejoicings at this new world you make —We, hedge-hogged as Johnson or Borrow, strange to the yoke As Landor, surly as Cobbett (that badger), birdlike as Blake. A new scent troubles the air—to you, friendly perhaps— But we with animal wisdom have understood that smell. To all our kind its message is Guns, Ferrets, and Traps, And a Ministry gassing the little holes in which we dwell. From Poems Poems. Copyright © 1964 by C. S. Lewis Pte. Ltd.
