He stood quiet thinking scheming
                                    while she again took to her dreaming
                                then all at once he stretched out his arm—
                                      but she did not yet imagine harm.
                                        In his dismay and seething rage
                                     with hope she’d stay in his cold cage
                                      in the dark he took off his shoe—
                                        his face dejected red and blue.
