Lament for a dead hedgehog

The staring eyes of night in fast succession 
Reach through the threads of heaven, where they fall, 
Pearling the glass and darkly metalled road.   
How can my soul lament?   How can I feel 
For this life crushed beneath my careless wheel.   

Now in the dry, the dawn, the day's new light,
He lies where he was slain – who grieves his plight?
