 | Rudyard Kipling's Verse |  |
[The wolf-cub at even lay hid in the corn]
The wolf-cub at even lay hid in the corn,When the smoke of the cooking hung grey.
He knew where the doe made a couch for her fawn,
And he looked to his strength for his prey.
But the moon swept the smoke-wreaths away;
And he turned from his meal in the villager's close,
And he bayed to the moon as she rose.
