With pushing horns and clawed and clutching hands.

With pushing horns and clawed and clutching hands.

And losing inch by inch, clawed at the air
With fevered wings; then, lost beyond repair,

To touch the covered corpse of him that fled

An' I hit back an' kicked an' pawed,
But 't seemed 't was mostly air I clawed,

Can grin through storms of death and find a gap
In the clawed, cruel tangles of his defence.
They march from safety, and the bird-sung joy

In the clawed, cruel tangles of his defence.
They march from safety, and the bird-sung joy

Can grin through storms of death and find a gap
In the clawed, cruel tangles of his defence.
They march from safety, and the bird-sung joy
