A misty day has dawned upon the vale,
with sheep to mind, traps to spring, wood to stack.
The meek will tend to chores in drab detail;
the wary shepherd signals the attack
upon the wolves descending on the flock.
the blood of lambs upon forbidden jaw
the same as that upon the butcher's smock,
yet wolf must die - that is the law
of men who in their mighty wisdom bring
the forests quaking to their knees.
No game to spy, the raven sadly sings
of men still stalking shadows through the trees.
The wolves must hunt to keep their nature pure,
but mankind's reasoning is now obscure.
