The Fowler by Wilfrid Wilson Gibson (1868-1962)
A wild bird filled the morning air
With dewy-hearted song;
I took it in a golden snare
Of meshes close and strong.
But where is now the song I heard?
For all my cunning art,
I who would house a singing bird
Have caged a broken heart

Born in Hexham, Northumberland, he shifted from romanticism to a gritty, conversational style, and later, profound WWI poetry.
