They bark at cars, and howl at church bells
Mist rolls down like tears,
While smoke rises in hope.
On a thickly wooded hillside
Within a sandstone scar,
The deer with tiny horns feasts on Rhododendron.
They say there are wolves
Far away in the north
Where midwinter passes fall silent
Beneath a wedding gown of stars.
Send your daughters to the city, my merchant friend!
They will find their manners there.

They bark at cars, and howl at church bells
Mist rolls down like tears,
While smoke rises in hope.
On a thickly wooded hillside
Within a sandstone scar,
The deer with tiny horns feasts on Rhododendron.
They say there are wolves
Far away in the north
Where midwinter passes fall silent
Beneath a wedding gown of stars.
Send your daughters to the city, my merchant friend!
They will find their manners there.
