The Thought Fox: Collected Animal Poems Vol 4

Cold, delicately as the dark snowA fox`s nose touches twig, leaf;Two eyes serve a movement, that nowAnd again now, and now, and nowSets neat prints into the snowBetween trees, and warily a lameShadow lags by stump and in hollowOf a body that is bold to comeAll the richness of the wild is seen through the poet`s eye, highlighting the variety of the natural world and of Hughes`s poetry about it. Poetry for young adult readers.
