Caged beast poem

Trying to track down a poem I remember reading at school.
It was set in a zoo and contrasted the majority of the animals who had given into their fate and just lazed in the sun with one creature (some sort of big cat, I think) that, to the writer of the poem, still seemed to be wild, pacing its cage, not surrendering to its situation. Google is failing me. (It's not the Panther by Rilke)

Response by poster: Yeah, I think that's the one, cheers.
