Can anyone give there interpretation on this poem? I need help with what the last line means and how the poet?
I'M a lean dog, a keen dog, a wild dog, and lone;
I'm a rough dog, a tough dog, hunting on my own;
I'm a bad dog, a mad dog, teasing silly sheep;
I love to sit and bay the moon, to keep fat souls from sleep.
I'll never be a lap dog, licking dirty feet,
A sleek dog, a meek dog, cringing for my meat,
Not for me the fireside, the well-filled plate,
But shut door, and sharp stone, and cuff and kick, and hate.
Not for me the other dogs, running by my side,
Some have run a short while, but none of them would bide.
O mine is still the lone trail, the hard trail, the best,
Wide wind, and wild stars, and hunger of the quest!
I need help with what the last line means and how the poet shows that the dog belongs in nature.
This is "Lone Dog" by Irene Rutherford Mcleod ♥
Wide wind (a dog has great smell - it can go for miles), and wild stars (at night - all night), and hunger of the quest (love of the hunt - and need for it)! The dog - still has the instincts for hunting.
