wooly

The Last Wolf-

I howl in earnest, into the night

No answer comes, nothing is right

I howl to our companion moon, long and mournful..

.Please answer soon.

Down from the mountain I came,

They are all gone--nothing is the same

I need my family, why did they flee

I call out to them all, but they don't answer me

I can sense their fear, they had to go

Was it 'man' --- with his death gun or bow

I need my family, I'll keep howling, I must try,

Without my pack I, too, will die...

I howl in earnest, into the night

Still no answer comes,

nothing is right

I howl to our companion moon, long and mournful...

It's only my own echo that answers soon

With a heavy heart, I know the killers have won

I am the last wolf, after me..there is none

My family's howls are now heard only in the wind,

where once my loyal family had been.
