The Killed Deer.

The deer in a woods a-bounding went; the hunter a bullet quickly spent; the deer fell dead, And the hunter said, "That bullet went straight as it was meant." There's a lot in this if you'll think it o'er, and the more you think it, the more and more; had the bullet missed, And behind it hissed, the deer would be bounding as before.
