A wolf he pricks with eyes of fireA
Across the night's o'ercrusted snowsB
Seeking his preyC
He pads his wayC
Where Jane benighted goesB
Where Jane benighted goesB
-
He curdles the bleak air with ireD
Ruffling his hoary raiment throughE
And lo he seesF
Beneath the treesF
Where Jane's light footsteps goG
Where Jane's light footsteps goG
-
No hound peals thus in wicked joyH
He snaps his muzzle in the snowsB
His five clawed feetI
Do scamper fleetI
Where Jane's bright lanthorn showsB
Where Jane's bright lanthorn showsB
-
Now his greed's green doth gaze unseenJ
On a pure face of wilding roseB
Her amber eyesK
In fear's surpriseK
Watch largely as she goesB
Watch largely as she goesB
-
Salt wells his hunger in his jawsL
His lust it revels to and froG
Yet small beneathM
A soft voice saithM
'Jane shall in safety goG
Jane shall in safety go '-
-
He lurched as if a fiery lashN
Had scourged his hide and through and throughE
His furious eyesK
O'erscanned the skiesK
But nearer dared not goG
But nearer dared not goG
-
He reared like wild BucephalusK
His fangs like spears in him uproseK
Ev'n to the townO
Jane's flitting gownO
He grins on as she goesK
He grins on as she goesK
-
In fierce lament he howls amainO
He scampers marvelling in his throesK
What brought him thereP
To sup on airP
While Jane unarm d goesK
While Jane unarm d goesK
