Poem by Edgar Lee Masters Sam Hookey I ran away from home with the circus, Having fallen in love with Mademoiselle Estralada, The lion tamer. One time, having starved the lions For more than a day, I entered the cage and began to beat Brutus And Leo and Gypsy. Whereupon Brutus sprang upon me, And killed me. On entering these regions I met a shadow who cursed me, And said it served me right.... It was Robespierre! Edgar Lee Masters Edgar Lee Masters's other poems: 1197 Views |
