The Half-Man

The Half-Man

SPARING not age, sparing not youth,
They tore their way with wolfish tooth
Through human homes, through human hopes
Not men, not men, but lycanthropes!

Thus do the fabled monsters rear
Their heads anew; thus reappear
Old Shapes that freeze us and appal;
And the Half-Man is worst of all.
