A wolf stands firmly Howling singular notes, Reaching over the night. The woodland animals Hear the plaintif cry As a lonely echo Through the air. We don't care, But others cower nearby. The abandoned wail ****** ears, Confirming all their fears: Something must die. Scratching, arching With fierce yellow eyes, Snout pointing to the darkling sky, He howls his hollow cry, Sounding like his cousin's bark, He lopes to his den, Veiled in the dark, Hoping his warnings Were not in vain, The wolf next night Will wail again.

A Wolf's Howl
A wolf stands firmly Howling singular notes, Reaching over the night. The woodland animals Hear the plaintif cry As a lonely echo Through the air. We don't care, But others cower nearby. The abandoned wail ****** ears, Confirming all their fears: Something must die. Scratching, arching With fierce yellow eyes, Snout pointing to the darkling sky, He howls his hollow cry, Sounding like his cousin's bark, He lopes to his den, Veiled in the dark, Hoping his warnings Were not in vain, The wolf next night Will wail again.
