Wolf  
  
Lowly low, quick to and fro,   
Hides by the shadows night and day,  
A quiet disposition, a strong constitution,  
Stares with yellow eyes and sees.  
  
Among his den, from five to ten,  
A hungry pack he keeps.  
Or go he alone, loyal to himself,  
Alone shall he ever sleep.  
  
Every sound he makes, every move he takes,  
Has more than just one meaning.  
A careful eye is more carefully watched,  
Offense is worth retreating.
